Jay, look at your triggers, they are nickel plated and peeling. If you plate before hardening your nickel will evaporate. If you plate after hardening you have no case colors. Cold rolled steel which is hardened often takes on a lustrous appearance depending on the materials in contact with its surface.

The wood and workmanship on that gun is just beautiful. JW Hayward must have earned a pretty good living given the average daily earning in 1880 was $1.34. Nice find.
