Default Vinegar blue remove
Well I decided to remove the blue with the vinegar method. This is the 1st Parker where I entirely disassembled the receiver...... and I mean everything. I wanted to be able to wash all parts thoroughly after removing the blue and soak everything well with oil to prevent future rust. What a enjoyable experience but I only say that since it went back together and I have no parts left over. I used 0000 super fine steel wool to clean everything up and did not polish the receiver beyond that. The finish is similar to an old Browning French gray. I am very happy with the outcome and It was the right choice for me.

Brian: Glad it turned out good for you. Try Frontier Pad & Hoppes #9 for the rest of the gun. It will not harm the blue or other finish. Do not let the pad touch the wood finish. I learned about it on this forum and have since used it for all kinds of metal cleaning. http://www.frontiermetalcleaner.com/ Bob

Edgar: Thanks for the kind words. Especially coming from someone of you knowledge and experience. Wish I could take credit for it but; I did not build it. Somebody else did. I am only its most recent keeper.

Is it possible to use vinegar to remove the blue from a gun that has not been disassembled? Is there a downside to this method?

That looks gorgeous! I like the contrast with the blued barrels; really accents the excellent engraving. What a gorgeous floorplate. Good job.

In Sporting Life 1913 issue is a listing of Peters amateur averages for 1912
2 Osbornes are listed C.E. Osborne and B.F. Osborne . Other listings for Osborne can be found, if you search you might find a Osborne from the area the gun was shipped.
