What is the difference in Colt's Blue and Royal Blue finishes? I have noticed, i think, that some of NIB Pythons that I've seen have an incredible deep, smooth blue which I guess is the royal blue. Was this the same blue used on colt detective specials?
And are Colt's refinishing jobs with royal blue the same as the originals?
