When you find the smith that can duplicate Parker colors exactly the owners of Foxes, L.C. Smiths, Ithacas, LeFevers, Syracuses, Bakers, etc. will all be disappointed with his colors. I even expect some members of the Parker cadre to still be less than satisfied. I do know this for sure that the offerings of 2020 are far superior to the offerings of 1970.

That may be but I’m not concerned with those other brands of guns and the colors that replicate them.
Dr. Oscar Gaddy came the closest to replicating Parker Bros. colors. I wish someone saved his formula...
