Prototype 39 - Titanium

Here is yet another prototype of the titanium 75!  (See others at #15, #25, #29, and #38).   What makes this one different are the dimpled tassies on the cap and barrel.

The weight of the cap and barrel are 6.3 and 7.6 grams, respectively, for a total of 13.9 grams.

Here are samples of dimpled tassie titanium 75s with colored caps in purple, light blue, and light green.  For reference, I show the normal gray version at the very bottom.

I think the colors were attained by heat treating the titanium but I am no metallurgist and I have no Parker documentation on the process used.  If anyone knows please email me.
