Default Patina restoration

Any thoughts on how to restore patina to small parts and other areas on an old Parker. In the process of a restoration, I've had to add a screw here and file some metal there. Are there any recipes available for taking the "new" off and adding the look that best resembles a gun which has no case color left and has attained that dark to light grey patina so common on older guns? I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas, or tried and true methods which I can test till I've found a good match.
