Case Color it is. The hand cutting of the engraving will certainly help the appearance of the engraving through case colors. I am not concerned with the appearance of it.
Repros do not need annealing. And they do not even need hardening. The steel they are made of is a modern composition and is suitable for use as a frame as it is. That is why you see so many modern guns with silver receivers. The Repros had a stain put on them to simulate the look of case colors to try and get the "look" of a vintage gun.
Fortunately though the steel does not need to be hardened, it does take case colors very well and look no different than the original guns when put through the process.
