on Spiller and Burrs I have examined.

I have only held perhaps four different S&B revolvers in my life and I do not own one and have never fired one.

But each of the four or so I have examined have a finish on the brass frame which can only be described as dull. I have never seen one that has been polished up.

Has anyone else noticed this feature on S&Bs

Second point....I think the brass parts of revolvers accumulate more "stuff" when they are not polished to a high sheen. This makes sense if you think about it.

Anyway, Chaz,

It was a good report on what seemed to be a nice day of shooting.

Two years ago I passed up a good condition S&B for 150.00 at a show. I regret it to this day.
