Both Doug Turnbull and Brad Bachelder are highly regarded among Parker collectors for being closer than anybody else. Some re color jobs turn out better than others, and they have both refined their colors over the years.
However, I am aware they they cannot absolutely predict the precise result, and you seem to have a precise acceptable result in mind, so you may never get exactly what you want. Both Bachelder and Turnbull have websites, and show their re case color jobs. If you don't see something acceptable there, I don't think you would be satisfied with either.
Both Brad Bachelder and Doug Turnbull are PGCA members, both have been friends and supporters to the organization and have attended PGCA meetings. Brad is frequently on this forum. I am aware that some very particular and discerning Parker collectors have chosen either Bachelder or Turnbull to do re case jobs, and I am aware that at a Julia's auction a couple years ago, experts believed that several Parkers had original case colors until Doug Turnbull advised that he had redone them. I personally do not have any re case colored guns and live with what I have.
