I used lacquer a lot in the past, but I stopped using it. It makes the gun's visual appearance at least 1-2% newer due to the strong contrast between white and deep blue. Also, it makes halo and uneven area around stamp unclear.

I guess it was used extensively in the past because it's hard to show marks and stamps in B&W picture era. Nowadays, those hi-resolution digital camera makes it unnecessary.
