FWIK the parkerizing machinery was installet at the US&S plants for Carbine components only in August 1943 unfortunately it was too late for use on pistols because of the impending contract callcellation, that's why all US&S pistols were finished with
DU-LITE which has kind of a blue tint to it.
If you lay a "parkerized" pistol next to a real US&S in good light, you'll see the difference.
Best regards.
