Another case color question

[ed good]

there is no simple answer to your question. particularly when you consider that parker case colors differ from period to period. generally, 19th century made guns have brighter colors than do 20th century made guns. and then there are the remington colors which are all together different than any of the earlier meridan made guns...

This is the best example I have. Gun is circa 1898. I'm in the process of having a friend of mind (who knows how to take photos worth looking at) take photos of other guns I have and hope to post them one day. If you saw this gun in person, the colors would be blue/pink/purple. The photo Bruce posted is very similar to my guns but his has more color. I agee with Bruce that the original color was more transluscent then what I've seen in the recolors today.

Since I'm not "restoring" anything it probably makes no difference but just wondered if anybody out there can do the blue/purple/red/pink transluscent colors.
