Hi Scott
Is there any knowledge of why the earlier parkerized pistols are lighter in color? Could it be a different supplier of the finish solutions? Just wondering if anyone knows what occured after 800,000 or so when they got darker?

I don't know of any mention in the Colt records, but obviously something changed about s/n 810000. The color changed multiple times during production.
