I am but an amateur, so please forgive me if I am asking silly questions. I have now recut the checkering on several of my low grade utilitarian Parker’s and while the quality of the job seems acceptable I just can’t get that same original color out of it. Original Parker’s seem to have darker colored checkering compare to the rest of the finish than what I have recut and then brushed finish into. Is there some special finish or is that abstract color just an artifact of age?

Thanks
