Tanaka custom SAA

I finally got a SAA modelgun that looks as I want it to
I often get people saying "yes very nice but does it look real?"
Well... real is subjective, as with SAAs people who have not seen a real SAA as opposed to a "spaghetti" western SAA are often talking about Uberti replicas anyway, but all that aside... people want a good looking gun. well i guess I missed out on these when they were available from Tanaka originally but been after one for a while. No review here just a quick post on looks.
below is a few pics of a Tanaka case hardened custom modelgun next to its equvilent Uberti model.
I myself on looks (and performance / realism ) prefer the Tanaka!!

No idea which is which, both look great to me :-)

I hope this qualifies as a complement!

Tanaka is the top one in all of the pics except the last one, in last pic it is the one with the rampant colt mark near patent dates:)

They both look fantastic to me aswell. I'd be happy with either one.

First Class job Sir!

And my question is........
HOW did you do it? Was it just bluing patterns? Or was heating involved? ''

Very nice !

I always say Tanaka is the best Brand I know, great.

'' Oops! I misunderstood - I thought you had made the Modelgun look like that! I know now that they can be bought with case-hardened looks!
