I guess you may be right I looked at Cimarrons site
...
As far as age finishing a gun.. it's matter of removing the non-period marks (de-farbing)
I then use White vinagar to work the blue down..I use browning and card in, then 0000 steel wool
and brown and card again. I leave it darker in tight spots as it should be and thinner is high wear areas.
I refinish the grips and add a minor distressing job.
He or you might hunt for used not abused 51 or perhaps order a one from Cabela's ( Pietta )
I perfur Uberti but it does not matter that much.
Course there is 2 Gen 51 Navy's but they will be $$$ even for shooters ( unfired colector models are going for $600 +)
Destressing leather is another touch of Art ...
I agree with going to David Carrico he has a Civilian flap holster in brown... Destressing is not that diffacult it's a matter of
wet fitting the Colt and scuffing the finish at high spots and some aging highlights with darker dye.
Chuck Barrows is a master at creating "NEW" old look leather..
