Howard, I am not here to put you or anyone else in their place..It's just that many people don't know what was in there to begin with. If I were trying to accurately restore a pistol to original specs I would use enamel paint.
yes, white stick from Brownell's would certainly work and make it show up but to what end? I am the type of collector who wouldn't do that but it may be OK for others. It's not permanent so no real damage.
We don't know what type of collector Bryan is so your idea may be as good as mine for him.
