freddy333 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 but the brass needs to show through on the raised serations not in the depths to mimic the real deal. Originally, after it received its enhanced patination, my entire bezel was golden brown (of varying shades & hues). But I recently did some additional sanding which wore off some of the brassy outer skin, leaving the high spots looking more silver. I will toss her in with the next couple sheets of cookies, which should finish her off nicely. For the record, though, the brass can appear anywhere on a gen bezel, depending on its history & usage. I have seen gens that are brassy only on the high spots, only on the low spots & everywhere in between. Not to mention the all-silver bezels, which is what they looked like originally.
