Early Parker case colors

[Dean Romig]

Suggest you contact someone like Brad Bachelder or Doug Turnbull or any of a short number of craftsmen whose business is in total restorations of fine guns as well as any lesser refinishing jobs.
Asking the folks here will get you a myriad of different opinions and answers, none of which are necessarily a reflection of what kind of actual quote you will get from one of the gentlemen referenced in the above paragraph.

Doug is a friend, but he charged me $200 to reengrave a VH Parker that had been previously reengraved by a talented engraver. I protested, but ended up paying the freight. Maybe you could contact someone who is less motivated by the bottom line.
