A friend of mine has an all-matching 5CH###X Inglis Hi-Power, similar to the one pictured here, which he's owned for several decades. It was blued when he bought it and does not show any signs of ever having been Parkerized.
I can find nothing online, or in any of my books, which talks about Chinese contract Hi-Powers having been blued at Inglis. Does anyone know if they were manufactured this way or if this was done after they had left the factory?
