Turnbull apparently does a fair amount of business as there a appears to be an endless line of people wanting a pristine example of an old gun...for whatever reason. They do a decent job, in fact too good. Look at their case hardening of receivers on old Winchesters. The color is just wrong. In short, I've seen a fair number of Turnbull's restorations pieces on the various auctions with the sellers boasting the work was done by Turnbull. The prices are too high and I've never seen one sell. In short you'll never get your money back out of one. Yes, I know, "I'll never sell this gun" comments are frequent with those guns, but really?

The comparison of restored cars comes up here every so often and there is no comparison. Lastly, a restoration like Turnbull does (AND I AM BY NO MEANS ACCUSING THEM OF FRAUD) can be just a way of making something into something it is not.
