Looks good, 44. I wonder if you could age the case hardening without totally losing it? You got that look with tru brown?

Thanks Cofaler. Yes, tru-brown was what I used.
HH was right, that casehardening looked out of place.
So I removed it. Took a while, used some Birchwood Casey bluing & rust remover and steel wool. Then I tru-browned it. I think 4 coats did it. I let 'er rust good and thick each time in a humid room.
I did the hammer too but didnt get the casehardening all off before browning.
I'll try to get a pic when I can. It looks a lot better now.

It looks better than mine does except the case hardening looks out of place.

HH, I like yours better in some ways, mine in others. They each have their character, which is the nice thing about browning jobs and how you apply the stuff
but that casehardening was a dilemma for a while. Wait till you see the new pic when I get it.
