Stan, if you are not going to recase your Perazzi, why not skip the bluing and try a French Gray on the frame? Should wear better than a blued frame.
You know, Replacement, I'm really just assuming it was originally case colored, probably because my other one is, but it may have just been blued in the beginning. There are no traces of color anywhere on it, so I'm not really sure what the original finish was. They built, and still build, a lot of them with blued receivers, and Rafael sounded like he was certain it would look right, so I told him to go ahead. He's gone so far with it now I'd hate to stop him. I should get it back in about a week.
