Henry Golden Boy receiver

[Mudhen]

I am engraving on a new Golden Boy. Does anyone know what the clear coat is on the brass receiver?

if it's the one that comes to mind, it kinda engraves like concrete.

I'll take a guess that's its clear lacquer.

Mudhen, What caliber is the Golden Boy? if it's a 22 caliber the gun is plated and not solid brass the 22's are not good for engraving. J.J.

I remember doing one in .22 back in the seventies. The receiver was solid brass and cut quite nicely.

Peter, All the advertisement I've read of the Henry rifle's the 22's were plated are we talking about the company? J.J.

I really cannot remember.

I believe you should test the medal on every gun before engraving. J.J.

Yes it is a .22 cal. Thank you so much for your input.
I find a clear coating on the receiver. From what I've been able to research, it is Cericoat.
