First Attempt at Strawing

Pete Ebbink · 02-14-2006, 01:15 PM

Hi Howard...

I think Herb has the sequence right and I was wrong...but the area is darkened, nevertheless...is it not ?

But on original lugers, I do see those patterned areas as darkened...I do not think this is just age...as I think it would go grey (if only strawed...) and not the darkened blue...

Here is a photo from a Simpson LTD offering...compare it to the result's Dan got with his 1st. strawing attemps...
