The work that Brian did is an indicator of his skil and attention to detail.  I hate to see recut checkering on an old gun that looks brand new and has all the diamonds pointed up, which is incorrect for a Parker.  I do the checkering on old guns the way Brian does, but I do put a bit of "patina" color on using a tooth brush.  It's good to kmow there artisans out there like Brian who do work that is historically correct and matches the overall condition of the gun.
