Darkening engraving
26/03/12 01:21 PM

I was watching a program the other day on building shotguns, as I remember it was on Holland and Holland guns. They mentioned that ink was used to darken the background on the receivers prior to polishing so the relief would stand out. Does anyone know what is used. I would assume blueing would work but they mentioned "ink". But.......being tv that could mean anything, as we know many of the tv shows can be somewhat misleading.
