Colt U.S. Property (Model 1903 M)

In fact they are very easy to do.The greenish colour that is considered as representative of original aged parkerized finish can also be duplicated.

Yes they sound to be very easy to do, but no one in Mumbai has managed to perfect the parkerizing process.

CC gave a very detailed report about how to do it,if I am not mistaken.Or was it about bluing?In any case,there are people who do it for the gunshop owners and they do a pretty decent job.It is not rocket science.I have seen some very good parkerizing jobs done here and not just in Patiala.

[amk]

I haven't come across a single handgun in Mumbai which has been re-parkerized. If you know of someone offering this service please let me know.

You can contact some of the other members from your city.They may know of some one who can do it.I have no knowledge of gunsmiths in Mumbai

[amk]

Nope, no one here can parkerize. At least no gunsmiths I have spoken to so far.

Are you sure that is Parkerized? If it is then looks very nice.

I think a phosphating process would be able to give it this greenish colour. I have tried it on a TT and it looked really good!

Quite an ugly gun I must say Asking price of these in Mumbai is between 6 and 7 lacs these days.

I have to disagree with AMK. I think its a nice gun and pleasant to shoot with.

A friend of mine purchased this same gun for 3L in Hyderabad. The only thing was that he wanted cash the same day.It came with a spare magazine, box and 50 remington 32 ACP rounds. The gun was in pretty good condition(90%). He has ordered mother of pearl grips from US which his brother will be getting this month.

I feel that this is an excellent buy.

I agree with Ashar , his friend got an excellent deal , that also with an extra mag and 50 rounds of Remington ammo.

My friend bought it ( the "green one" ) for 3.75L about one and a half years back. I think it is a very nice handgun.

best,

RP.

I didn't say it's not nice and is unpleasant to shoot with. I just said it's ugly. To me it looks strange, sort of unbalanced.
That's a great deal your friend got there. I'm assuming it must have been a while ago?

AMK,

He go it a month back. Its not the 'green one' though. Poor fellow had to pay his mom's hospital bill I hear. God bless him.
