Thanks for all the replies..........I really appreciate the advice. The gun was handed down to me from my dad who recently passed. Dad was in the gun business for 60 years - he took the gun in on trade 30 years ago. He got it right since the buttstock had been replaced (not what I would call a professional job). I put new wood on the gun (both stock and forearm) and brought to back to original specs (I've been doing this gunsmithing thing a while myself). Was considering going the rest of the way - I was certain I would get the replies I did on having the case coloration restored. Perhaps I will just pursue rebluing the barrels. Question - were the original Parker trigger guards blued or were they treated somewhat differently?
