Parker case colors

Please show us some pictures of the gun you’re wondering about.

Often times the condition of the entire gun when the originality of case colors may be in question gives us a better idea.

I'm not looking at any particular gun but am looking for somebody that knows what they are looking at when it comes to original case colors on Parkers. There seem to be very few out there that can distinguish between original guns and one that have been redone and used again and show wear. In one of my Parker books the author shows an original gun and one recased by Oscar Gaddy. I would bet that several would call the Gaddy gun original and I'm probably one of them. Parkers seem to be harder to tell if the colors are original then say Winchester or LC Smith. I just was wondering if there are any go to guys out there that can look at the colors and not hesitate and give an answer to originality. I'm just trying to be cautious before I make an expensive purchase in the future.
