Randy, according to Brownell this paste is used to highlight gun engravings. Yes there are several color options but it is available in black.

The old method was black paste shoe polish. Works quite well and once wiped down, only stays in the depths and not on the surface. I’m surprised no none has mentioned this. It’s quite common.

Default Black paste shoe polish
Is that what is going on in the C grade gun in the Parker Home picture?

If so looks very nice....
