Guys,
My father just picked up a Parker DH 12 damascus. It’s in decent shape been used a lot there is no finish left except in the protected areas. Basically white all over. Screws appear to never have been turned on the receiver or stock. He would like to get some “color” on the barrels without having them totally redone. Because the rest of it would look too worn. Are there any techniques you guys use to maybe enhance the pattern to give it more of a worn blue look to it? Dare I say it but could you clean the barrels well, prep them and use one coat of cold blue and try and rub them out with steel wool again to give it a faint blue color with some pattern underneath? This is just for the Damascus barrels nothing else…..got any ideas? Thanks he will appreciate the help!
