I recently purchased a CE Grade Ansley Fox manufactured in 1909.
it has a 14XXX serial number.

Apparently the forearm had been dropped resulting in damage to
one side bead (matches bead on lower barrel edge), cocking
lug and receiver mating surface/edges. A gunsmith has repaired
the majority of the damage and when all repair is complete
I would like to restore the forearm metal to its original condition.

The trigger guard and forearm frame metal are
blued (the trigger latch and frame are case hardened).
I would appreciate inputs on the proper bluing type/method/
color to have applied to the forearm frame.

Thanks for your inputs and assistance
