LACQUER-STIK®
Mfr:n/a
Price:$4.99
Hi-Lights Engraving, Stamped #'s And Names
Highly specialized compound wipes on to bring out stamped or engraved impressions on ALL smooth surfaces. Ideal for guns, parts, accessories. Semi-solid in stick form when used, but soon hardens and becomes permanent.

SPECS: 4-5/8" (11.7cm) long. Red, White, Gold, or Black.
Thanks for this info, I just ordered some and will be "dressing up" the lettering when it arrives.

Yellow crayon on the "Gesichert" lettering, right?

Cheers.

Hello Porta!
I was wondering about your name. Have you been reading the books..?
Interesting, but if truth? I`m a fan anyway.

Just how permanent is it?

Hello Jussi,

Not to go off-topic, but yes Porta is a reference to "Sven Hassel" books.
Probably the grim start of my own decline into owning one of these unique and elegant pistols; I have the whole set in lurid-corgi covers (somewhere).

So perhaps not so "off-topic" then .....

Cheers,
Matt

I would think "Gesichert" was originally in white. But it does show some amber color tone on guns. Actually, if it's too bright white, I would think it's not original (similarly, if "9" on grip is too fresh vivid red, it's most likely recently re-painted).

But I still believe it was white initially, and gradually turned to amber color over years.

Experts please correct me if I am wrong on this.
