I will be getting a brass frame cva 1851 navy from a member here the next week or so, it's a kit gun and should be fun doing the finishing work or whatever else is needed.
my question is should I make it nice and pretty with nice shine, or give it a aged look.
I'm not a big fan of shinny brass, or chrome and stuff like that. What would you do, please share yours that may help me decide.
think the steel bits are in the white or will need bluing anyway. If I do a polished gun I may rust blue it. For the worn/aged I have some Browning I could use or cold blue.
some tips on ageing brass would be nice.
