Our standard finish is how the Gatling gun looked when accepted by the Army "back in the day".
The 1874 - 1879 Standard Finish
All steel parts, frame, barrels, screws and so on, are left "in the white" or "bright" with no protective finish such as browning or bluing. However, we use a commercially available product called "Renaissance", which is a microcrystalline wax developed for museum use, to protect the bare steel. The barrels and the frame are polished to 240, and the bronze parts are polished to 320 but are not buffed to mirror finish. Tripod legs are sanded, stained, and finished with Tung oil. Metal parts of the Camel gun tripod are bronze, polished to 320, while the metal parts of the "musket length" tripods are painted black.
The 1895-1903 Standard Finish
The barrels are polished to 240 and browned, the frame is polished to 240 and blued, and all external bronze parts are polished to 320 and painted olive drab. All other steel parts are left in the white but protected with "Renaissance". Tripod legs are sanded, stained, and finished with Tung oil. Metal tripod parts are painted black and the "aiming lever" is browned.
