I like the colors and would buy that gun to restock. I have no idea whether they are original. The serial number would help to determine that.

Skeet, This link is posted as a 'sticky' on the 16ga forum http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/12588446. Has picture of Parker cyanide colors but no mention as to factory original. Hope this helps. I'm not expert in this area but the engraving sure looks factory sharp on the broken gun you posted. jmc

Case colors appear to be cyanide case colors, not bone case colors. During the late Remington era production case colors where shifted to cyanide, according to Del Greco. The serial number will indicate when the gun was produced. I need more information, #, bore, frame size, pictures of the fractured stock, barrel length, etc. The gun has been reworked, in my opinon. BTW the auto safety is disconnected.

Skeettx claims the gun left the factory in 1930, that would make it pre Remington. Sorry to say that what he was told was just a story. Those case colors are not Parker original case colors.
For examples of what original Parker colors look like, visit the Parker discussion forum. Plenty of examples there.
Looks like a nice shootable Parker after some repair work.

Skeettx, sorry I now see that Doggai was the original poster on the 16ga site and you posted the pictures for him.
Doggai said that the gun has been in the same family since purchased and was broken in an accident shortly after purchase in 1930.
You posted this in the 3rd post down on this thread:
I asked no questions
Thanks for the answers smile
Now, why do you say this??
The gun has been in a closet and not fired for many years
Never fixed after the early accident.
Seems like you did claim something?

Those look like later DelGreco colors cyanide imo. I've got a VHE made in 1937 and the case colors (which are very nice) don't look like the one in the picture. Mine look like bone and charcoal for sure.
Anyway, I posted these photo's on the Parker forum and those guys will tell us for sure.

It seems that you do a lot of pirating of pix with out asking first. Not enough of your own things to post ?

No way they are original Parker or Rem-Parker colors. Perhaps DelGrego but I am thinking not. I believe his were/are a little more subtle than that.
By the way Tut, it's DelGrego not DelGreco.

look a lot like cyanide colors as on my very late VHE which DelGrego recolored. I really dislike them. Does anyone besides DelGrego confirm Remington went to cyanide colors?

I won't speculate on the authenticity of those case colors; but I can tell you that DelGrego color cased several Parkers for me some years ago, and the colors on that gun do not bear even close resemblance to the colors on the finished guns I received from Mr. Delgrego.

Just tangent to the Del Grego cyanide casehardening...I don't think he actually does the cyanide process in his little tin building. But I could be wrong. There was a thread on that a while back.

Here's a gun redone by Delgreco some years ago. It wasn't fired after the restoration:  PS. This was my gun and I don't give a rats butt who reposts the pics because I don't own a copyright to them.

Without the serial number it's impossible to know for sure but that's not a Remington era gun. Remington made Parkers only had "Parker" engraved on the sides and the one in question has "Parker Bros."

Got a PM from the seller and he will not provide the serial number or the serial number range. Thus the mystery stays a mystery.

This is what late Remington era Parker colours should look like...this is an almost unfired specimen with 99% original cc's CJ   
The taste of poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten.........
