Fireblue photo thread

[twaits]

I want to start a thread of Colt's with Fireblue accents. I just love this finish so much. It's rare to find them in good enough condition to still see the fireblue, but when you can it is stunning! I'll start with the 1908 Hammerless I just bought



Don't own this one anymore but it had beautiful fire blue accents. 1892 38LC



Nickel 1892

Awesome. So Colt fireblued the whole barrel, cylinder and backstrap on some SAAs? That's such a great gun. They all are!

Actually, they didn't, this gun was refinished in the distant past by someone who did!

I couldn't quit catch it so I had to help it.


Here is the unaltered version.


Here's a better one.

1902 Colt Single Action. The picture doesn't really show the fire blue very well.

It can be hard to catch the fireblue in some lighting. I have the best results outside or inside with very dull lighting.
