I believe when I see the rusty yellow/orange oxides, I am seeing fluid deposition. Especially when they appear well and evenly distributed on the item. Just my opinion. Out there doing it best I can.

All the early ones were done in Bone Charcoal and that sure isn't bone charcoal. I'm not sure when they changed the engraving on the B's, but I'll bet most if not all of the first generation engraving were done in Bone Charcoal vice cyanide.

Forgot to include a link to it on Gunbroker.com: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=494042694 It's a real early one -- 1909 -- so the colors must have been redone.
