Laminated steel Parker
I bought this gun from Brian Dudley and had Breck Gorman refinish the barrels. I have yet to refinish the stocks and fix a couple cracks. In the end should be a really nice gun. I got a super solid gun for a great price to start with and just have to admire the laminated barrels Breck refinished to high contrast.
I understand the color contrast of laminated barrels to be: black parts are steel and the silver parts are iron. Do I have that right?
I normally don’t ever refinish the metal on guns, yet make an exception for “Damascus” barrels (we used to call all non-steel barrels Damascus).
Another thing about this gun is that it retains 90 percent case color on the lock plates and less on the frame, is that typical for a Parker hammer gun?
