I noticed that some of my Parkers have the shaded areas further darkened with paint or some type of ink. This must have been done after CCH. Does any one know what was used? Was it applied every where? I can't tell if it is in all the scroll, ie am I seeing paint or case color that is dark?
Depending on what gun I look at, it seems that the paint may have only been applied where there are fine shading lines and not all over. I have one gun where the figures in the fences are shaded with fines lines that look to have paint. Another gun doesn't have the fines lines so no paint was used in this area on the fence but the scroll seems darkened.
Insight anyone? Thanks!
