Here's another .500 JRH this time a Vaquero (with a scalloped frame and action balls) with with an ocatagon barrel -- sorry it doesn't have a Bisley grip frame. Also by Huntington.  |

You're just a step away from holding the round in your hand and igniting it with a nail and a hammer with that thing! |

whitworth, Is that Turnbull color case hardening? Is it a glossy or mat type of finish? I know pics/lighting can change the appearance. Looks like sheep horn grips too huh? thanks
