It is a JP Sauer that is now a 12g rifled bore, I am cleaning up a little bit of discoloration and plan on darkening the existing engraving after polishing the receiver as was original on this gun. I have recut the checkering and once the ribs are re-enstalled blue the barrels. just not sure what to protect the finish. I am tending toward wax at this point but its still kinda-sorta open at this point.
