Drew, your "'zipper' weld" loses me...
Is your term "zipper" used simply to describe the appearance? Certainly the segments weren't made to 'interlock' as the term might imply - they were simply the outer edges of the D3 or 3-iron ribands welded together.... right?

About ten years ago, I requested of Ron Kirby a Letter on a Parker I had recently purchased. Ron called me and told me the customer had requested "a blued, not browned" finish on the barrels and could I tell him what the barrels looked like now. I said they looked like any old D2 barrels I had seen. Pics below.

So, Drew... the "star" is the center of the bundle of alternating iron and steel "leaves"?

The size and shape of the 'star' between scrolls is a function of how tightly the rod is twisted, the angle and depth to which the tube in ground, and likely a bunch of other forging stuff that I don't understand



An AHE with 4 Iron Turkish "Star" pattern. Note the alternating black (steel) and white (iron) stars

Thanks Drew. I'll study the drawings and wrap my head around it.... Pun intended.

Jerry: could you please post or send me a full size image of that 3rd pic, by jpg attachment, so I can crop, enhance and add it to the album?
revdoc2@cox.net and thanks!
Wow! I thought that picture & barrels looked very familiar.
So what pattern are my barrels?
Has this picture been put into a picture file with other barrels I can check out?
