I know, "use search function!" Well I did and my Seach-whan-do is just as bad as my Google-Fu.
SOme where at some point in time on this board there was a series of post by some one that detailed what they were doing to make a modern repro look a-hunnered and a half years old.
Not trying to fool anyone and I will leave modern markings in place but wanna know how for something neat to hang on the wall.
Vaguely recall using a combination of cold blueing and browning on steel parts with steel wool thrown in some where and shoe polish and a propane torch on the grips after mussing them up with dings from sraps on a work table.
Also other than stripping it to bear metal and burying it in the pack yard for a couple of years, is there any way to get that ancient brass look?
Thanks in advance.
