The gunsmith and finisher that I use here in California told me that he sometimes burnishes to get a correct'Brit type' finish. I have never asked him what formula(s) he uses, but I know that he applies a blue/black finish that he feels is appropriate for the type and make of the gun he is restoring. He is meticulous in restoring older guns and does many high end guns. He can reproduce the highly glossy 'plum black' finish often seen on guns like my Dickson.

I learn a lot every time I visit his shop. He always seens to have a backlog of years of work. I am grateful that I do not always go to the end of the line.
