Serial nbr look uo pls

Do these colors look like cyanide? or bone charcoal? The restoration by DelGrego was done about 10 yrs ago to the best of my recollection. My understanding is that sometime around then he started using Turnbull for case coloring. I think Lawrence could have done a better job on the checkering. Back then, I knew squat about the finer details on Parkers.

Thanks Randy for posting this.

Allen, That is a fine looking family gem and, evidently, very well kept. Your conservancy is to be applauded. Congratulations and enjoy shooting it!!!

A wonderful piece, packed with vital info. and replete with color illustrations, can be found in PARKER PAGES – Journal of the Parker Gun Collectors Association – written by the late Charles Price. The topic is about identifying original charcoal process case colors from replicated charcoal case color, and charcoal case color, be it original or replicated, from cyanide. In the Winter 2015 issue page 4.

The “Parker Pages Digital Archive” would have the article, too.

For further reading, on the charcoal process, read THE PARKER STORY, Chapters VII and X.
