Austin Hogan had discussed original finishes of Parker shotguns and methods to use today to duplicate or refresh them a number of times on the forum - possibly on the old forum - but I don't recall any Parker Pages article on this topic. Possibly a forum search might turn something up.

Austin discussed "French Polish" which I believe is shellac mixed with one or two other products.... and he said that shellac could be found in various color hues as it was made from the dust of ground beetle shells - the hue dependant on the specie of beetle.
