Perhaps we’ll hear from him.

Thanks Dean! I’ve noticed a lot of guns show a tan border with reddish/bluish in the middle of the field like the Smith in my picture. SAA’s are like that too. My one Parker with good original colors seems more muted with with more bluish/purplish colors that are more spread out with less of the tan/straw border.
I’d appreciate any comments regarding regarding this, plus any pictures you could share of Parkers and other makers.
