I appreciate the discussion my question has raised. I believe Brad is in line with what I'm thinking. So the the question is: Do I harvest my hay in a hot pink tractor, or do I correct something some one did quite some time ago? My wife can pull off hot pink. I really can't. It sounds like at some point bluing was an acceptable method of preservation, as there are a few out there. I would imagine given what I found under the bluing on my shotgun that there would be fewer Parkers in good condition if they hadn't been blued. Thanks for all the input.
