OK, sorry for the delay. Here's a photo showing the proofs. I've contrast-enhanced this in Photoshop with a goal toward clarity -- the real bluing is not this bright nitre-blue, but a good rust-blued black.

I can post a few more photos, but they are mostly just details showing the sights are intact, etc. Any information you can give me is useful.
Thanks in advance.
