If you read my Insider about putting a classic “Old West” patina on new guns, here’s a bunch of extra photos I had from the process.
It’s funny, but to many people — including me — a “cowboy” gun just doesn’t look right unless it has a certain patina.
This all started typically for me. I walked into a gun store on University Avenue in San Diego about 1980 and there, staring at me from the display case, was a “sorta’ rusty”
In about 1969 I was 15 “going on 16” as we used to say. I had a hopeless case of the “gun crazies” and had been suffering from the syndrome since I was about five.
