Thanks for your insight(speculation), since the gun was sent back to Parker in 1907( made in 1901) to be restocked and dents removed from the barrel, it is quite possible that the barrel and rib were shorten and honed to cyl and cyl at that time. Anyhow, I enjoy to shooting the gun at SxS meets and elsewhere , so it will stay with me and be passed on to family. Richard
