A "Hunter's" refinish! Very nicely done, but doesnt take away the characteristics of a fine old gun. Kind of what I was thinking about for my sidelever Greener in a current post.

Yes, actually you are the inspiration for my post. I didn't want to clutter up your thread so I posted here under restorations.

Very nice Dean. Some of these old guns are well past this approach but when you can make it work like you did the end result is really nice. Best of luck with it.

Default case harden color?

I have the same model Parker in similar condition. Have you tried any methods to try and bring out the case hardened color? You can see pics of my gun in the intro section. I just bought the gun and joined the PGCA and I am looking for all info about cleaning up this old gun. Thanks
