Turnbull does some spectacular work. A friend of mine blew the cylinder and top strap out of his 1st gen Colt SAA. Turnbull restored it to the condition it was before he trashed it. He had them put a note inside the grip it so anyone buying it some day down the line would know it was repaired and not original, although it looked it.

Turnbull is indeed top-notch! I've seen several YT videos, one concentrating on the Selleck '86. It is marvelous!
I believe Selleck just recently auctioned it off for charity, if memory serves?

I looked at all of them, and used the search box, methinks this particular 'Chester still resides with Mr Selleck.
