A wonderful piece, packed with vital info. and replete with color illustrations, can be found in PARKER PAGES – Journal of the Parker Gun Collectors Association – written by the late Charles Price. The topic is about identifying original charcoal process case colors from replicated charcoal case color, and charcoal case color, be it original or replicated, from cyanide. In the Winter 2015 issue page 4.
The “Parker Pages Digital Archive” would have the article, too.
For further reading, on the charcoal process, read THE PARKER STORY, Chapters VII and X.
