De-rusting and etching Damascus gun barrel

RDGAC · 23rd April 2011, 11:10 PM

As an aside, I apologise for being so over-cautious, and for asking questions over and over again. The thing is that I feel very much responsible for this gun, not only in a personal, but in a professional sense. I don't think I'd ever really forgive my own ill-judgement were I to ruin, by carelessness or omission of action, a wonderful artefact that has stood the test of, in all likelihood, centuries. So thanks for being so forbearing. If I can get my concerns cleared up, I think this barrel will look truly beautiful once restored fully.
