If I did it over again I wouldn't bother with the Semi-Chrome.

I wonder if that shiny nickel finish was created by applying the Semi-Chrome? After 20+ years of wear a couple of my Repros appear to be aging gracefully . . . do you think either would benefit by re-case coloring?

Yup, I have seen some completely white Repros and they look very much like an original Parker. If I hunted with my Repro, I would be inclined to let it grow old gracefully without refinishing. However, the Brad gun looks great.
