Hi,
Hopefully this will be Case Coloring 101 class.
I am new to Parkers and I am trying to learn about Case Coloring. I have attached some close up pictures of a restored gun and was wondering if someone would take the time to explain what it is that you look at to determine:
What is the giveaway that it has been restored?
How do you know if the restoration is a good one or not?
What to look for specifically and where on the gun for red flags that the coloring may not be correct for the Parker genre?
In general, what you use as a guide to determining whether a restoration is up to standard or not.
I know a lot of this is experience and feel, but if you can articulate any of that I would appreciate it.
