Appears to be a dark image w/ shading? But most, if not all, of the early Lindner & Sauer pattern welded tubes in a state of high condition are a lovely plum/brown colour and I just don't think them to be refinished. How would it be possible to over time transform from a black steady state to a brown steady state?



Yeah, from the Charles Daly muzzle-loaders thru the 1st series being plum & somewhere during the change, from there forward black to pair w/ the black new fangled fluid steel steady state colour.
