Harold: would it be possible to take a full size high resolution image of an about 10" section of barrel, where the contrast is most apparent. Outside with partial sunlight works well, with the barrel raised a few inches above a dark grey solid surface.
It would be very valuable to have evidence of what close to original Parker (likely D4) colors look like.
Or send the image to me as an attachment (not embedded in the email) to
drewhausemd@yahoo.com and thanks!
This is about the best Parker DAM4 I have. I failed to document who sent the image however
