the goal of the case coloring effort referenced in the beginning of this thread, was to attempt reproduce, as close as possible, the parker gh case colors as produced by the parker factory in the late 19th century. whether or not the effort was successful is difficult to determine, as there are so few parkers of that vintage that have enough bright case colors left to make an intelligent comparison. one did pass through my hands years ago, that one had about 50% original case color left, mostly on the top tang, lever and in hidden areas. doing a comparison from memory, this one was pretty close; bright with golds, blues. however, i do not recall any reds.
