well the case hardening is for decoration(like old colt navy revolvers, you can use chemicals which oxidize the surface of a gun much the same way parkerizing works but it's a very thin layer that wears off with handling. and yes if I ever ran into a pre 1900 anything I would refrain from even exposing it to sunlight. but your average 37-45 cookie cutter MN was the demographic gun I was looking at. basically my way of thinking was to take a gun that is VERY commonplace and make it unique so than in 30 years when this is the one antique gun that is still worth next to nothing, these might actually be sought after. blueing/CH/parkerizing are all expensive and time costly proceedures and from the sounds of things the stocks can only be buffed and re oiled so just as originally suspected...is probably going to die in the hairbrained idea phase of developement
