The example that Bruce shows is a good example of more early colors. The subject gun at the beginning of this thread is more like Bruce's example. It does not look out of place on a Parker, just not true to the time period.
Yes, that glossy look is more noticeable on lower grade guns due to the lack of engraving. But the appearance of the colors themselves are notably different than early guns.
