Looks like no one has a Kibler with the barrel left bright. That's what I'm gonna do with my next one.

Here are a couple of my colonials that are in the white. I actually prefer them this way in the white rather than putting makeup on them.

I do like the natural patina, it looks "real" because it is. Gosh there are so many options and decisions to make.
