Blueing / blackening armour
Sir Edward:
Nice, those shots look great!
Sir James A:
Wow, yeah, nice job on that! The breastplate is stainless or mild?
Sir Matthew:
Breastplate, Almaine Collar and Helmets are all mild steel. My experience is stainless does not take blueing very well.
Thorsteinn:
Put my oven on 500'F, baked it for 30 minutes, and then I rubbed gun oil on the piece, came out brilliantly!

Just be careful, at those temps you can ruin the temper on a heat treated piece.
