That gun has been restored to the point of a shooter. In other words' don't pay much for it . Who ever did the work kind of destroyed it. Dean and Russ are being polite.

This particular gun has been discussed before and has been for sale on line for quite a while. There is a lot about the gun as a whole that is not legit/correct.
Any case colors that exhibit any sort of pattern such as stripes of waves are not correct bone charcoal type colors. If you are looking to learn as much as you can about original Parker finishes and appearances, you may consider the couple hundred dollar investment in The Parker Story. It may very well pay for itself quickly by steering you away from a bad deal or two.

I appreciate all of the responses so far..In this case I guess I am not necessarily asking for a critique of this particular gun as much as a general guide for what to look for in determining good or bad case colors...I just added these pictures to discuss from....thanks Brian for the tidbit about the lines and waves

If you want to see correct case colors, scroll to the Parker Engraving subforum and look at Parker C Turkish Star. A person could also do a search for case colors. Or you could buy The Parker Story or go to the Southern SxS or go to any of the Parker gatherings.

Wish my worm eaten old mind could remember who said it; but he said true case colors
"sort of look like oil on water." (Forgive me for a mangled quote whoever you are) Anyway, one look at that gun, and anyone who has seen Parkers says "Whoa...those colors just aren't right." There is just way too much of a pattern there. It's an immediate "What the heck?" when you see this gun. |

The "oil on water" look statement was me. Or at least that is the best way that I can think to describe later Parker colors. Kind of a translucent look. Vs. the earlier more sunken in look.
See this album for original case colors on a 1928 made VH. http://parkerguns.org/forums/album.php?albumid=508 image.jpg
