Just a note to add regarding Parkers restored by Delgrego. The question often comes up regarding these guns and if they are original finish or not. Usually the cyanide colors are a dead giveaway, especially on Meriden made guns. But also, one will usually see, when held at the right angle, a definite line extending from the bottom of the breech ball back to the rear of the action. This is from the buffing of the receiver that was done and the same finish could not be obtained behind the ball so a slight difference in finish can be seen.
