Do you have any more photos of the High Power? I am having one done at Heirloom Precision and I like the way the hard chrome is done on it. It looks to be a soft matte frame with a satin slide flats and the controls appear to be satin and matte also. I am assuming it is hard chrome. I have seen a matte frame with a highly polished slide flats and it is too much contrast for me.

Some years back, I got to hold a Swenson made BHP. Amazing quality and detail. The one you are showing is just beautiful.
