    Thanks and will do. I also have an SAA 45, which I also like very very much indeed, but as you and I both seem to agree, the Schofield is King and as I adore my copper/coffee tinted nickel BB example, keeping it and buying it a distressed antique finish stable mate is defo the way ahead.

    Could you post a pic of your nickel Schofield. All the pics I've seen of it show it to be the grey steel finish like the DW 715. Copper/Coffee nickel sounds so much nicer & could easily lead to a bit of wallet loosening.

    It is far far FAR removed from being a grey steel, trust me my friend, it is a beautiful coffee/copper tinted deep shine nickel with slightly off white/ivory grips ... Will see what I can do photo-wise.

    I like Gareth’s lyricism but there isn’t much difference between the 715 finish and the Schofield.

    That being said it is a great finish and I think the shiny Schofield is a cracker.

    Yep, sort of agree with me learned colleague, but there is a defo copper/coffee antique tinge to the nickel Schofield which sets it apart from the more silvery hue of the Dan Wessons (both cracking finishes btw ) ...
