timkel Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Question: Were 1928 pivot plates blued or parkerized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK. Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Blued. May have been parked during re-build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 It just seemed odd that the pivot plate pins are blued but the plate is parked. I have 2 and they are both the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisley45 Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Dulite can appear different depending on how smooth the surface applied to, from a dull black very similar looking to parkerizing to a shiny mirror finish. In your pick the plate looked 2 toned, but the finish looked a little thin for pakerizing. just my .02, don't shoot me if I'm wrong. hard to tell looking at pics, or in a basment for that matter.

gijive Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I agree with Bisley45. Depending on how the surface was prepared the black oxide finish can resemble parkerizing. The pins were left smooth so they wouldn't bind when replacing the pivot plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK. Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Photos being what they are….. this does not looked parked to me. Wish I had it in my hand, it would be easy to tell. Bear in mind that the pieces were riveted together and then finished; all the pieces should have the same finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
