It is a custom gun, but the engraving style is not too far off what may have left the Parker factory. At least so far.

The engraver is doing his best to copy Parker in general but his own design.

Holy cow, that's one beautiful gun Brian. Are you planning to case color it? I like the metal just as it is.

It will be case coloured, possibly muted to look aged. Maybe a worn look of aged case? That will be the last thing to work out once the engraving is done. It has turned into a fun project for sure.

That is going to be one very fine upgrade!

I agree with all of the above comments ,One Beautiful Gun ! I have to ask even though it will make me appear stupid although those that know me well ..... ! In the earlier part of the post one of the comments is that the gun will be case colored ,what about the Gold Ducks on the floor plate ,will they be removed before the coloring process or protected somehow ,I only ask because I truly have no idea !
