everforward Posted March 6 Share #3 Posted March 6 That’s a beauty.....good honest original finish on that one. The UMC finishes tended to brown up pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gap Posted March 8 Share #6 Posted March 8 Nice! Is this what is referred to as a black army finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad k Posted March 8 Author Share #7 Posted March 8 black army is usually a colt referance but I don't know why it couldn't apply to the remington umc also. the colts and remingtons from this time, late 1918 were not as finely polished so the finish is more flat blue and both colt and rem. pistols had bad finish preparation so that the bluing flakes off in places. a lot of the remingtons I've seen have no finish at all remaining.
