Newbie rebluing question

[Kensal Rise]

The "bluers" who visited this travesty upon Parker guns in the past often polished the heck out of the frames, etc. before they applied that glossy hot blue. Result: corners were rounded, engraving wiped off, and screw holes dished out. If yours has been polished, that is also an issue to correct before re-case.

Thank you for the replies. I ask because several times I have run across guns either on the internet or in person that have had their receiver blued. Even the Parker newbie that I am knows that that is not correct. I always wondered though that if I wanted to buy a gun and have it restored (not for investment reasons, but for enjoyment of looking at it/shooting it reasons) did I need to cross these guns off the list from the start or if they were still to be considered if they were cheap enough.

thanks,

Jeff
