I have a 16 ga vh that I had DelGrego do a total restoration on about 8 or 10 yrs ago. Did not know at that time that they only colored with cynanide. Anyhow, the gun came back after a yr and i noticed the base plate was not seated completely and the old screws had not
been been replaced so i called lawrence and shipped it back. Colors looked good tho. Anyway, the gun comes back. Base plate is fully seated with new screws. However the screw heads had a copper luster which did not look correct. Called Lawrence and he says rub the screw heads with an eraser. I did and they did not look any different. About 6 months later after hunting with it and some skeet, i noticed the colors on the base plate were just about completely worn off. No solvents used on outside of the gun . Just Rem oil Go figure. Gun is at Bachelders for re coloring bone charcoal. Have not used DelGrego since. |

No, I've been reading post over on highroad, and in the black powder forums if you punch in case colors in the search box a bunch of post will come up discussing different methods of case coloring.

in the black powder world Kasenit was (maybe still is) a popular way to harden frizzens
i never used it, so not sure if it added color as well

A VHE for 15,500 ? I must be out of touch with reality.
