What do the members make of the case colors on this gun? Does anyone have an opinion which shop did the color?

What do you make of the stock? Is this a restock? The nose seems a bit higher than other Parkers.

What are your overall impressions as to the quality of this gun's restoration?

Maybe ask the seller ,

I looked at it but decided to pass. Looks like a decent job and the 32” barrels are a plus.

Looks pretty nice and will not last at that price. He who hesitates…………!

Sorry guys.... That gun landed at my FFL this morning. It is as good as it looks. I bought it as a shooter and it fits that quality more then good

I lost most of what I wrote but suffice it to say the gun is in great restored condition. The only two things I found were a burr on the engraving on the long trigger guard tang and the forearm latch needs a bit of coaxing to get it fully closed down. I suspect some judicious file work can fix that. As to the case colors I believe it to be bone charcoal as I do not see any of that bright yellow that ya get from cyanide. All in all its looks great as a shooter and thats what I bought it for.

I will take it to the trap club on Tuesday

That's great! Maybe consider posting about it?

I will as soon as I get hands on it and shoot it a bit. Its in "jail" right now (Illinois three day wait). I could get it Monday but will pick it up Tuesday on my way to the trap club. Now I need to go out to my ammo pile and find some ammo for it.

It's a beautiful Parker.

I'll venture an educated guess that Turnbull did the case colors and the darkly stained checkering and the perfect quality of the checkering looks like Brian Dudley's fine work.
The "nose of the comb" does seem high but I have seen other lower grade Parkers with a very similar nose. The wood could very well be original.

Really nice gun, I agree the nose looks high. Great score.

Thanks guys. I am a happy camper.... This parker thing has got me but good.... I have a few more shooters that I would like to get my hands on. Gotta watch the retirement account....LOL. Nice part about it is wife likes em.... Especially Damascus barreled ones with straight stocks.
