On our home page there is a links section that has several listings for reputable Smiths that can service your gun.
Rust bluing the barrels is relatively straight forward. Repros were originally cyanide case colored, and i do not know who might be able to replicate that these days if a true "restoration" of your repro is desired. However, tepro actions color nicely using traditional bone charcoal methods like ameriden Parkers were. The trigger plate bridge is soldered in on the repros, so they just have to be tack welded in place before case coloring is done. Congrats on getting your gun back after all this time. I am sure there is a story behind thay saga.

Brad is great.
Let us know who does cyanide. I hope we hear your story of recovery and restoration. It would make a great Parker Pages article. |

By the way the color so quickly rubs off and flakes off a Repro I wonder if it really is cyannide or simply some kind of metal stain?
It's not like the frame needs to be hardened with the superior alloys used in the '80's and '90's. .

Might be some sort of a stain that mimics the look of cyanide colors. Whatevr it is, it is not a high enough twmp process to melt a solder joint.
