I only posted it because the gun is in phenomal condition and I see no evidence of tampering at any level. I think the colors are most definitely original and thought I remembered someone collecting pics of original colors. I've not owned a Parker with more remaining color than this one; my G grade 10ga hammer gun comes the closest and is very close to this. The other side and the floorplate aren't as colorful but are nice. I don't think this gun was used much at all in it's past life. The engraving is sharp with no signs of having been polished. Barrel blue seems original; no signs of polishing at all and the trigger guard has most of it's blue, which is rare. The lever is still to the right and the trigger pulls around 3.5#. I's a beaut for sure. I've seen very few V grades with this much color.
