Bruce, Thanks for the nice series of photos of this gun. Regarding the brown in the DHBP, I don't see a photo of it, but I seem to remember reading that the brown is from heat with age. Its probably not on the BP but in it. I would think a dye would be the answer. Maybe a black shoe dye? Someone with actual experience will no doubt give you a precise answer.
For my own education is the "0" on the butt of the stock an ink stamp? Is the chalk SN on the DHBP original from the factory as I believe I have read about in the past. Thank you for your contribution to Parker knowledge.
Erick
