Although I haven't personally had cyanide case coloring done by R.G.S. Restorations, they have been recommended to me by others that have seen their work. http://www.rgsrestorations.com/finishes.html

CPA does wonderful cyanide to match original Stevens actions. I do not know if they do shotguns, but they would be the first place I would ask. https://www.cparifles.com/

Shiloh Sharps is set up to do cyanide colors. I dont know if they would consider the job, but it might be worth inquiring if things arent working out elsewhere.

That is true, and they have done bone charcoal case colors for NON Shiloh, nonSharps actions, so they may very well do something else for cyanide too, but they do not do the Stevens' patterning - if that is something you want.

No not a Stevens. This is a Belgium hammerless side lever 24ga double. After stripping the chrome from the receiver Im concerned about warpage using bone and charcoal. So obviously it needs some kind of applied.

it aint the bone and charcoal that should be worrying you...its the 1400 degree F heat, typically needed to reach quenching temp that should be of the most concern...
and then there is the unknown tempering spec, to bring the frame metal back from a glass hard brittle state ...no one alive knows what that was...
suggest you leave it be and not mess with the factory heat treating...why not polish the frame to a satin finish, as seen on some english made redone guns...

These folks did all the Browning factory case coloring on their low walls. This is a custom Low Wall I had done a few years ago which started life as a Browning 1885 low wall. Company is: SIGNAL MOUNTAIN GUN WORKS, Box 570, Roundup, MT., 59072.
