Default To restore or not to restore

So I'm posting photos of my Parker.. it's got aftermarket barrels that are nitro steel so I'd think it could handle some standard ammo.. not sure.

My question is about having it restored case coloring.. It looks similar to the DH models but not as much engraving. Did it even have case coloring..

Not sure if this would add to or detract from value and who does that type of thing any more.

Final question.. why case coloring? was it just for looks or some type of protection...

Lots of questions so thanks for any feedback.
