    That is a nice touch. I wonder if that blue is achieved by heat? Which got me to wondering if either company is using a clear coat to protect the case hardening?
    It would be nice to know how the color case hardened frames on that batch of DE1911s done some years back are holding up.

    Greg, I believe that is what they call nitre blue. The process is much different than standard bluing. http://tincanbandit.blogspot.com/201...re-bluing.html

    It's what Turnbull uses to make those luscious blue works of art. https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/.../nitre-bluing/

    Thanks Neither (fire or nitre bluing) is very durable, which got me to wondering about a clear coat.

    Case hardening isn't durable? I'm starting to feel like the Hindenburg here. I'm pretty ease on stuff but I'd want it to hold up.

    My case hardened revolvers are doing ok but they rarely get carried although I plan to more often when I get some 45 Colt ammo sorted out.

    It's one the more fragile finishes. Direct sunlight and handling can dull the colors. Varnish was used to protect it back in the day. Modern clear coats should be more durable.
    Turnbul supposedly does clear coat on the color case hardening they do: https://huntforever.org/2016/03/02/t...lor-hardening/

    Alternatively, sit in the shade at barbecues and tell folks your religion demands that if you draw it, you must use it.
