I spoke with Oscar Gaddy years ago and he told me that sunlight will not dull case colors.

Really. So Dr. Gaddy says UV rays from sunlight will not degrade case coloring. The man new his stuff. So the only way case colors are lost I take it is by wear or some caustic chemical. I assume this is only for the traditional bone, leather, and charcoal method and not the cyanide process?
