I have one that looks like that with original finish....BUT you do GREAT work.

What all did you do?
A customer brought me that gun. He had just bought it. Someone did a good job on the wood but they had stripped the original finish on the metal and coated with some kind of spray paint. It's was flaking pretty bad. I refinished it with Cerakote midnight, it's black with a grey bluish tent to it. Looks pretty good on guns with wood.

Interesting factoid, an Enfield has over fifty metal parts, all of which are completely saturated in oil and take several actetone baths and bakes in the oven to drive it all out. Might be the last milsurplus I Cerakote :lol:
