Ugly checkering
1 Attachment(s)
I noticed this old Parker lifter with this particularly ugly checkering pattern on the wrist. I have seen a few others with the same style and was wondering how or why this was done. Does anyone have any insight?

I have seen only one other with that crude (and ugly) stippling.
You can bet it was never done at Meriden. . |
i ve just seen my first one of this type checkering...charlie

There was a VH with the same style on Gunbroker for years. Sure is ugly

Yes I have and it gets uglier.

Well, it isnt exactly “checkering”. It is stippling.
I have seen it before on various types of firearms. It never looks good on any vintage stock, period. But I could see it having a place in some arenas. It is traditionally used when carving is done on a stock. It serves and a buffer between the carved work and other checkering or the smooth wood. I have had some inquiries over the years from people who want stippling done on some gun or another. I tell them that I dont do it and it is a practice reserved for those you are unable to checker. |

I have seen similarly stippled stocks on old German guns.
