They never used cyanide to case color their frames. The mellow hues they achieved cannot be duplicated using cyanide. Del Grego used cyanide extensively and is easily recognized, but also used bone charcoal as well, though it is quite gaudy. Parker Reproductions used some unknown process to mimic case colors that wears into a really beautiful coin patina, but it is neither cyanide or bone charcoal. JR Be strong, be of good courage. God bless America, long live the Republic.

It was only after production ceased that Remington used the cyanide process to REFINISH guns. The Parkers you see out there that are cyanide colored are refinished guns. I do not believe Parker Reproductions ever reported exactly what their process was for case coloring, some have speculated with uncertainty. If you've got some data to refute this, please correct me if I'm wrong. I stand by what I wrote above, corroborated in TPS Vol. 1 on pages 160 & 199. I have what I believe to be all the errata sheets to TPS, nothing in those refute what the authors of TPS originally wrote, nor has there been any documentation refuting that over the past quarter century since TPS was published. Also, in a direct conversation I personally had with Babe DelGrego, several years ago and before he passed, stated that he never did any type of case coloring in his shop as he farmed it all out.
