Thanks Cane!

I hope you don't mind, but I'm having one of your photos used as a logo on a big banner I'm having made for gun show tables.

Depends on what the original finish is. If you want something that won't rub off, you can try a urethane. Or if you have a buffer, green chrome works pretty good too.
