I am working on a plan for engraving two Paterson Colts. The one thing that my customer wants most is silver bands around the barrel, cylinder, and recoil shield. There are a few examples in the books that I have and the captions say the guns are inlayed with "German" silver. Is this done because "German" silver tarnishes slower than fine silver? I will be inlaying the guns with silver bands, and wonder what flavor of silver would be best to use. The final finish on the guns will be blue if that makes any difference. Thanks
