Fogles Bluing any Reviews?

I am looking to have a project gun refinished. It is an older Browning Hi Power which wears a Bomar sight. I want to reblue it in a classic manner. The finish in some parts has seen better days.

I am looking at Folges. I have seen some of their work on other site and am wondering if anyone here has used them. http://www.foglesgunsmithing.com/ I would also consider other recommendations of top tier shops.

This is the gun I am looking to reblue.

It's often hard to tell from a picture, but that gun looks pretty good, maybe 80% finish remaining. I typically don't advise customers to reblue until they are at about 50% finish.
