Nice shiny totally untouched Parker receivers got that way over a period of years from honest use and meticulous care after shooting. Brown patina untouched Parker receivers got that way over a period of years from honest use and somewhat less meticulous care after shooting. Once they get brown, I leave them that way because most attempts to make them look shiny or white end up in a non original look. I have a brown and beautiful twenty gauge 1917 VH that is the most wonderful looking Parker, a Parker that would be ruined by any attempt to improve it. By the way, the pictured gun looks a bit like my 20. Bruce's assessment of how they get that way agrees with my opinion of how they get that way. I choose to leave them as is and hunt off the brown.
