Real or redone case colors??
 
This is on the 16 gauge forum. Someone advises this gun with the broken stock was found in a closet. Story was it had a broken stock and essentially never saw the light of day. So folks, real case colors or redone. Here are the pictures that were posted there:

Unfortunately the fellow who posted it didn't provide the serial number. The story is the gun was purchased in 1930.

If it really was made in 1930 and in original condition it will shake to the core all the previously held beliefs about Parker case coloring methods of that era.Very pretty anyway.

Well I will be the one to go out on a limb, I do not think they are original case colors, looks like subdued cyanide to me, but hell I could be wrong!

Here is the link on the 16Ga forum on the gun:

I'll take the position that for a 1930 gun those colors are right-as-rain!!!

Brian Dudley 06-28-2012 09:59 PM

Those are Cyanide colors which wouldn't have been used by Parker in Mariden.

It doesn't look to be a Remington era gun so I would bet the colors are redone. They look close to DelGrego in both color and pattern.

Here's a gun redone by Delgreco some years ago. It wasn't fired after the restoration:
