The craftsmen doing that would be by necessity very expensive. You need furnaces, etc. Not worth it for a reproduction item.These are the only ones I know of that do charcoal blueing.
I have no idea what the cost would be.

The OP didn't ask about pricing, just who does it, but you are correct nothing Turnbull does is cheap.The craftsmen doing that would be by necessity very expensive. You need furnaces, etc. Not worth it for a reproduction item.
Whether it sucks or not, I still think it beats hell out of the alternative!It doesn't suck nearly as much as the poor decisions in your youth.
The problem here is that Old Age dosen't come on it's own, but it's definitly better than the Box!! . OLD DOG..Whether it sucks or not, I still think it beats hell out of the alternative!
Where did you find an 800 degree oven?I agree with a couple of the other guys, charcoal blue is fairly durable. What I’ve seen on some replicas is more of a niter blue, and that can be easily done in mass production. Here is the first test piece that I tried before doing a revolver. It required a oven at 800* and wood charcoal.

If you could find the info Kcode98 it would be appreciated I’d like to ask them about a separate revolver frame along with the cylinder.
