For a gun that's lost most of its color, and the collector value is diminished, does it diminish the value further if your refinish the barrels; fluid steel or Damascus?
Have any of you refinished your Damascus barrel yourselves? If so, was your process a cycle of blue then etch, over and over, or was it to blue to the color depth you wanted and then etch? I've read about both, and wanted to see what peoples first hand experience had been. I've blued several barrels with good success, but not etched.
