I've had this for a long time and recently upgraded the grips, re-blued the barrel tip, and decided to weather it. I am very happy with it and now look forward to darkening the holster I got from Cajunkraut who was a pleasure to communicate with!
I couldn't live with the replacements with the Todds brass medallions, so.....original...overspent now I'm done!
UPDATE ! My Todd's Bapty .455 and AB holster !!!UPDATE!!!

Beautiful work! What did you use to weather the gun?
Re: My Todd's Bapty .455 and AB holster
Thanks! Fine wool and very high grit sand paper. You can sand down the barrel ONCE, it's only plated in metal, it did take the instant blue, but I wish I found a better way to remove the orange paint...
I prefer the wood grips but they aren't the best replicas....

Looks good - like the new grips.
