Brad, the color tint with photos is problematical, and with Parker case colors, its all about minor color variations. So yes, nothing beats having the gun in hand.

I think you are very close, if not there. I still recall feeling the finish was a bit too thick on the Shachter hammerless specimens I inspected at the UP shoot. I don't know how it is too thick when you are dealing with microns, but that was my impression.

Added: Brad and I talked on the phone yesterday and he told me that the reason that the Shachter actions looked like they had thick coats of finish on them was because they did. Extra thick coats of lacquer had been applied over the case colors. Without that they would look thinner and more true to Parker finishes.
