    Here is a pretty good look at the trigger of my 1902 vintage Colt Single Action. This gun saw almost no use, so the color is about as original as you can get. Sorry for the finger prints on the side of the trigger, hope this helps.

    PB Picture removed.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    Here's a Colt question:

    Does Colt still make 1911s?

    My 1903 New Service 38-40 has a Fire Blue finish on the trigger . The rest is Brilliant Nitre blue as on the SAA above.

    old colts, that looks to be a dark blue bordering on purple, or is that a bit of reflection from the backing cloth?
    V35, got any link to that fire blue?
    have got the "getting the color yer after" down, and will be makeing a reference board with color/temp chart to match an old part to
    but it would be nice to have seen GOOD parts instead of just a dis-colored one that needs to be re-done
