Liberty Horse Dark Seal Patina?

[Xopher]

Does anyone have a Bill Kelso Liberty Horse Dark Seal A-2 with heavy wear that they could show me photos of. Im pondering a BK A-2 or Waldo Pepper in Dark Seal and Id love to seen what the wear is like with heavy use. Thanks all

Howdy, great photos. Those A-2s look to be the Seal, not quite as dark as the Dark Seal. But very nice

I really think Im leaning toward the Waldo Pepper. I think it is really sharp looking and would look great for my pre 1930s reenacting. I have a small piece of BKs Dark Seal hide and it looks like it has a rich red brown color underneath the very dark top coat so I think the jacket would age amazingly but I haven't yet seen a well worn BK Dark Seal in Liberty hide. I have a Duke in their Victory Dark Seal but that is very different hide and doesnt age very quickly at all. Had it 2 years and its just starting to patina at the cuffs
