VH grade trigger finish
How where the triggers and trigger guards finished on VH grades when they left the factory? Thanks for any help.

All grades were Nitre blued.

Not all triggers were nitre blued
VH triggers and trigger guards were nitre blued. DH and higher triggers were nickel plated except AAH and higher were normally gold plated. . |
Forgive me Dave. I read too quickly and thought you were asking about trigger Guards.
What Dean said is correct about triggers. Grades below D were blued. |
That can't be right!! Bachelders finished the triggers on my 1930 vintage 20-gauge VH-Grade bright. :shock:

DAVID, I asked this same question. there are several pages with great photos from several members, posted on Oct. 5 2017 in the general forum, it was a great help
|
I read in Parker Story that triggers were fire blued.

Does Niter bluing take differently on different metals? The piece I saw was much "brighter". It was not on a Parker, but Definitely NOT what I have seen here. I would like to have my trigger guard done as close to original as practical, but don't want to have to strip and re-polish it either. Is all niter bluing the same?
