Yes, Caswell Plating in NY makes an acid that you dip them in. The issue is keeping them from rusting after the acid has been applied. They make a specific sealer to immerse the fastener into, --or you can submerge in oil.

Raven finish is Parkerizing. People too lazy to find some who does Parkerizing often use Black Oxide, which doesn't really look right. You can buy Parkerizing chemical on eBay and it is simple to do at home. Outisde, not in the house.
