Do you have a 1950 Long Branch?

[Claven2]

All the unissued 1950 LB No.4's I've seen were deeply and richly blued. Those that were parkerized, it has always been considered that they were refurbished by CAL after manufacture.

In fact, on the batches of unissued 1950 LB's that returned from Belgium, all were blued with no parked parts.
