Parker Charcoal Case Hardening Colors and Metal to Wood Fit
Sometimes people will attempt to duplicate original Parker case colors by a cyanide dip treatment or by burning oil onto the metal by a torch. Those attempts fall short of replicating original Parker bone charcoal colors , seen here. The Tiger striped cyanide colors caused by repeated dipping into a cyanide liquid bath are egregious. The brownish circular leaf blooms from the torch are worse.
Metal to wood fit should be so close that a sliver of paper cannot be inserted between. That is the way they were made .
