The black FeO will oxidize over time to the plum toned FeO2.

I was looking at a few of the other threads. Admiring the Laminated Steel barrels. As I mentioned earlier, the barrels on my 12 have been re-browned and have a solid plum brown "wet" look to them. Would much rather have the original. Is this something best achieved through a professional restorer or can a regular guy like me return the barrels back to their original beauty?
