No other American gun has that deep metallic blue tint. Once you have seen the real thing the restored guns just jump out at you. Thanks for posting.

The Parker I had years ago in what has been termed "unfired" condition by some of the most esteemed PGCA members is the very best I have ever owned in terms of condition of originality. The fact that it is a Grade 1 with minimal engraving allows us to fully view the casehardening colors. I suspect the current owner, like myself, has never fired it either.

Outstanding examples both Bruce and Dean. What comes to my mind is that at one time colors like these were a normal, every day occurrence when you went to a gun dealer. Art achieved through function is remarkable.
