No one doubts he has world wide clients; many others do as well.  As far as setting the "standard" , he has created and promoted the standard the way he sees it and convinced many, with pro bono work,  that it is the best or the most original looking.  Compare his colt work to a high finish original antique and you'll see the difference immediately.  I don't even know why we say "his" because he employs 16 people, 10 or more who actually do the work.  Doug oversees the charcoal blue and case color process because he regards them as secret.  Other than that, his ability to personally restore an antique Colt or Winchester is average.  He thrives on publicity and has earned a reputation of arrogance with many collectors.  When his restoration display wasn't recognized at a Colt collectors show with a prize, he had a fit.  Another person with a restoration display did win a prize.  Standard?  The Colt collectors association made the judgement that day.

I think Turnbull's work is incredible, but I actually prefer the color of the USFA's case color.  Of course, those Turnbull Winchesters look fantastic.  And Colt does a good job, too.
