anjdrifter,
Great job on your pistols. It's amazing how you can resurrect a tired old finish.

Sorry I took so long to reply GR, your question slipped by me somehow. I am not sure what model it is actually. I wish someone could tell me. I know it was made in the 1960's. There are a few numbers in different places but I don't know which one designates the model number. Maybe someone on here can tell me what to look for.

Not trying to butt in, but it looks like a old Taurus model 80 to me, but I'm not sure, the only ones I have seen had a 4"bbl, and the front sight was shaped the same but a tad longer or at least that is how I remember them. I had a older M85 SS, bought it new in 90, paid $195 for it in IL. and shot the heck out of it, never had a problem, nice little 5 shooter. A ex girlfriend keep it, which was ok, she couldn't hit anything with it anyway.

I agree that Oxpho Blue is the best on the market for home cold bluing. The final finish results from the work you put into the job. The metal preparation is very important to the type finish you want from a high polish to a matte finish. As Norm stated, the color is dependent upon the number of applications of Oxpho Blue you put on. I have the liquid, but prefer the paste type. Both work the same way.
By the Norm, do you warm your parts before putting on the Oxpho Bluing?
