I guess I can't say 100% but the bluing on the barrels looks thin and is worn thru a bit at the sides of the muzzle. The bluing on the case looks new.
What I can't understand is why would someone blue the case? It isn't supposed to be blued is it? I mean....with the barrels and wood in such good shape. Why would they blue the case? Did Parker make any Trojans with blued cases?
Thanks,
