    P14 bolt finish?

    I am restoring an Eddystone P14. The finish looks original everywhere except the bolt. It has been polished, knob and all. Would like to return it to its original finish which I assume is the black parkerizing the rest of the rifle sports (it is the original bolt, numbers match). My problem is that after looking at several photos on this forum I can't determine what the original finish was. Was the entire bolt parked, just the handle and knob, what?

    Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Originally they had no parkerizing on them, the rifles and all parts were blued originally.
    Any park came from later depot visits or rebuilds.
