That gun is not original finish. The cyanide colors as well as the noticeable polishing line under the bolster is typical of a DelGrego re-color.

I personally do not believe that Cyanide coloring was used on any production Parker by Remington. That was something utilized after the war on guns for Service and refinishing.

Brian, please explain what "the war on guns for Service and refinishing." means... I don't understand it.

Best, Dean

I think he's referring to guns that were sent in for service after WWII.

Dean, does it make sense now?

I've been looking at this more lately and might add it to the "guns of autumn" heading to the U.P. Perhaps I'll just use it a while, maybe take it to Georgia as well and see if it grows on me.

I've seen that polishing line on a number of DelGrego guns and have often wondered if they did that on purpose or was it a result of some secret process?

Personally with little actual experience, I would not have a Parker re cased, too much chance of warping. Simple action like a Single Shot Rifle not much problem, just a few pins and the block fit is loose. Action full of parts than have to work together like a Parker too risky.

In researching the Parker Story we were informed by some old time Remington-
Parker employees that Remington initially had some problems of warping on the top tang and forearm metal with bone meal/ charcoal case coloring. Therefore, they used cynaid coloring on those thin pieces to prevent warping. No record as
to how long that was continued. Remington enlisted a retired Parker Brothers employee that did case color to ride the train from Meriden to Ilion to help them
in the traditional bone meal charcoal case coloring.
