Metal finishing

#1 Post by ovenpaa »

There is a company/person in the UK that sells gun Blue, Plumb and Brown solutions for older firearms and Damascus barrels. It is all 'home brewed' as opposed to the normal Birchwood Casey stuff and I cannot think of his/their name.

A bit cryptic but can anyone help please?

It is not Peter Dyson or Caswell.

Helston used to supply me with all the blueing and plum brown solutions.
