I don't know much about bluing as done by Parker but I ask if anyone has seen any genuine factory/period literature put out by Parker or any other American maker that refers to niter or nitre "bluing" on triggerguards?
Again I am asking about righteous factory/period literature from any American maker - not references in books, on internet sites, or by gunsmiths. Please let me/us know what you have in the way of factory literature. Thank you. |

...or carbonia blue?
Unlikely that Parker used rust blue, IMO. In some writings of Turnbull, the rationale given for using something other than rust blue for the trim pieces was speed. |

Respectfully please, no personal opinions or comments attributed to modern gunsmiths. Looking for righteous/period factory literature, specs etc that call out niter or nitre "bluing" on triggerguards.

The only parts rust blued on Parkers are the barrels.
