    Any way to "enhance" the remaining finish on blued m1911?

    I have a 1917 m1911 with some remaining original finish on it. I would like to know if there is anyway to make what bluing is left on the piece stand out better and look a bit 'bluer' without damaging the remains of the original finish.

    Any products or techniques out there?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
