Click on the "fulton armory" in my message. It's a different color, but not by much! Parkerizing is a controlled oxidizing of the metal that leaves it with a porus, matte finish. The coating is ideal to hold oil and helps to protect the metal.
There are different types/quality levels of parkerizing, and some of them are really ugly. If this gun is worth anything at all, I'd expect it not to need it.
