I'm looking at reblueing a friends Pardner SB1, is there a way to replicate the original damascus looking finish on the reciever? Is it originally from heating and quenching in oil? Or if I polish and blue over it, any idea how it would turn out?
depends on the finish you want. A high polish job could be costly but a simple reblue wouldn't cost that much.Even having this reblued by a someone with a hot tank bluing setup will cost more than the gun is worth.
