    Colt SAA pellet antique finish vs Special Edition US Marshal?

    Do these guns have different types of worn finish?

    Or are the finishes pretty much the same?

    Is the only difference the US Marshal star on the grip?

    I suppose I could ask the same question about the Special Edition NRA version.

    Same finish on Antique, NRA, Marshall and Ranger.

    The Marshall is a Limited Edition of 1000 with serial number plus eg 500 of 1000.

    The other models are not limited.

    Just wondering but is the antique finish painted on? Or is it metal just worn down

    I think they've got an army of Chinese kids rubbing them with scotchbrite

    I had a SAA Antique version which had a very good 'worn metal' look...apart from the loading gate which was not so convincing. That is that part that would probably have the most wear on the actual pistol, but maybe the last item fitted on the Umerex CO2 (i.e not 'roughed up'/antiqued enough). Granted this is easy to sort with a suitable mildly abrasive pad. Overall a very good look.
