Let me preface this with a little background on the situation.

My dad gave me this old savage shotgun he likely bought at a yard-sale years back when I first got into guns like 6-7 years ago.

I went through this phase where I was trying to keep all guns pristine, etc, so I decided to re-blue the thing with that bluing stuff from Academy.

Turned out okay, but doesn't look like the original finish that was on it.  I feel bad now because it is something my dad gave to me and I wan't to get it
re-blued professionally.

It's an old school savage 12 gauge break barrel shotgun.  I believe my dad refinished the wood and added his own trigger guard he made out of aluminum.

My dad is no professional craftsman, but an awesome handyman, and I like it just the way he did it.

I wish I never did anything to it and just left it the way it was when he gave it to me, but it's too late now.

Where would be the best place to send it to get it re-blued, it originally had the oil in water looking multi colored blueing or whatever.

here are some pictures showing the original finish on the action, and the bluing that I did to the barrel.  I just want the bluing to match the original finish.

I've seen  Fogle's Gunsmithing's  work and it was well done and reasonably priced.  Goggle will net many others and I'm sure you'll see more posts with more recommendations.    The frame appears to be color case hardened and having the re-done can be a bit pricey.  Be real sure you heart doesn't hurt your wallet to bad.
