Depending on the grade of your Parker, the guy who you use should know that the higher grades had a finer polish before rust bluing and on the lower grades the longitudinal 'striking marks' were not generally polished completely out. In other words, the higher grades had a higher lustre where the lower grades, Trojan, VH, GH were not as polished.

....if it makes any difference to you.
