Refinished my first 1911 today

[cplstevennorton]

I bought an Ithaca 1911 that had been blued. I bought it dirt cheap with the intentions of refinishing it. I've been wanting to try to parkerize for a awhile, and tried it today. It came out pretty good I think. It was way easier than I thought it would be. I stripped off all the old blueing with white vinegar, sandblasted, and parked it. Real simple. What do you guys think?
