Hey all,

I have a question as usual.

I have a SAA that I believe to be an artillery model. It is a 5 1/2 with mismarked serial numbers and stamped US. It is in fine shape but has been reblued. I also think the timing could use some minimal work. Would having it restored by Doug Turnbull increase value and function? What if I would like to shoot it? I know Mr Turnbull is here at AR on occasion and some of you have knowledge.

Thanks for the help,

being it's already been redone once i wouldn't hesitate to send it to doug his work is known worldwide for a reason.It's quality work i would say probally increase value and you would be able to shoot it again when done

Thanks for the info.

I haven't seen what restorations are going for lately. Has anyone seen what Turnbull restorations are bringing? Especially Artilery Models?

Thanks for the info,

easy way is juist call or email him then you will get correct info instead of someone guessing or giving an old price here is a link to his web site doug turnbull

I don't know Doug's rates, but I agree wholeheartedly with TBEAR. Turnbull's work is second to none from what I have seen.

Thanks Guys,

I'm not trying to be difficult. I haven't seen any of Dougs work first hand. I have read about the quality of his work and am impressed by the pictures I have seen. I am trying to justify putting $3000 into this SAA.

I was given this gun by a family friend as a graduation present from college. It has been reblued but really is in fine shape. I do think it could be timed.

I am trying to get information on if by putting $3000 into this gun to be restored if (and I mean if) I had to sell it, what it's value would be. I don't want to put $3000 into a gun that will only have a $2000 value.

Thanks,

ddj
