These folks did an excellent job on my M-1 a few years ago.

If memory serves me, the parkerizing process is credited to our old friend Harlow Parkenfarker. He was trying to chrome plate an action once upon a time and, well, let's just say things didn't turn out the way he intended

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

Your right the process was originally called Parkenfarkerizing but it was too hard to spell for the customers who wanted it so it was shortened to Parkerizing.

LOL, Yep. My Dad had a old flat top Super Blackhawk he had bought early in life. It was used a great deal and was well worn but extremely accurate and locked up well. It had little bluing left and had been rust pitted when he spent a few years in Germany in his early twenties (stored, but not looked after). He met a guy at a gunshow who would parkerize it. Worst mistake ever! Most piss poor job ever completely ruined the gun. I would never get rid of it because it was my Dad's favorite pistol. One day I'll strip all that crap off it and reblue it. It has no value now other than personal. Point being, I have seen some good Parkerizing jobs but when done poorly it is horrendous. Make sure you see other jobs they have done and get referrals.

Saddest part is back then Ruger would have refinished it to new for under $40!

With some patience and TLC even a well worn rusty old Ruger can be brought back. This one had lots of hard use and had no bluing or anodizing left. Took it in on trade and made a project out of it. I enjoy shooting it now and had fun reworking it as well.

That looks really good, I'll have to do the same. Who did the CCH?

The CCH was done by John Gillette at Classic Guns Inc. I have had them do mine for years and have always been pleased with the results and the colors.

Classic Guns also did my Hepburn action and a very good job. Would not hesitate to have them do more CCH work for me.

Curt got it. Classic Guns is in Illinois. Sometimes you have to leave a message, but they've always gotten back me when I have.
