I recently obtained a Model 27-2 5” that’s going to be a keeper. Unfortunately, somebody along the line dorked up the finish pretty good - some bluing loss in the cylinder flutes, and in particular some scratches on the barrel, which is why it was as cheap as it was. I’m interested in having it reblued. I’ve considered the pros and cons and don’t care about the resale value. I do want quality work done, however.
I’ve seen Ford’s thrown around quite a bit. Smith also offers rebluing. Who should I consider for this job and why?
