Parker never top coated the color case hardening & doing so would make it look un-natural. Turnbull used a violin varnish on CCH when requested & so does the Germany company that does Perazzi's & Krieghoff's. Brownells used to have a baking lacquer that was hardened in the oven. True oíl is also used. For a Parker leave it original; no top coat, just a little oil & it will look more original.
