We lost something valuable when you left. Very glad to have met you Dan. Class act in every way.

Professor Higgins shared an amusing factoid with me about this. Apparently, case hardening involves heat and carbon. In the olden days, they got the carbon from chicken bones. In other words, they basically put those gun parts in a bag with chicken bones and threw it in the fire. Or something like that. It explains the randomly mottled grey/black finish on those guns.

That one's easy for me to figure out.
