1903 Colt pictures
This Colt didn't have enough blue left to be attractive, but it was in otherwise excellent condition, so I decided to make a shooter out of it for my wife.
Accurate Plating did the plating in matte hard chrome. The grips are bonded ivory. http://photos.imageevent.com/joelcra...e/IM000277.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/joelcra...e/IM000278.jpg

Great job, Redhawk! If it shoots as good as it looks she has a fine pistol. George

That's very slick. Really give the classic lines of the old '03 a new, very modern look.
Makes me wish I had a beater to do the same thing with, as my original-condition 1919-vintage .32 is too nice. I wonder if that look could encourage enough sales to justify re-introduction of the old Colt? I think thes guns are very under-rated by modern standards.

I don't think I'll park my 1903 either, it's not quite ready for that!
