Parker Case Color:
 

I thought it would be fun to take some photographs of Parker Brothers case color while doing my ritual oil rag wipe down. Some of the photos are today’s, others are legacy.
It’s probably a rerun to many, but there are new members who may be curious.

Wow, this is the stuff I really appreciate. Thank you.

Beautiful to behold—thanks!

No other American gun has that deep metallic blue tint. Once you have seen the real thing the restored guns just jump out at you. Thanks for posting.

The Parker I had years ago in what has been termed "unfired" condition by some of the most esteemed PGCA members is the very best I have ever owned in terms of condition of originality. The fact that it is a Grade 1 with minimal engraving allows us to fully view the casehardening colors. I suspect the current owner, like myself, has never fired it either.

Beautiful. Thanks for these photos.

Beautiful examples!! Thanks for posting those!

Outstanding examples both Bruce and Dean. What comes to my mind is that at one time colors like these were a normal, every day occurrence when you went to a gun dealer. Art achieved through function is remarkable.

Wow that's gorgeous thanks for sharing
