Default American Flag Bunting Pattern

This has been identified as American Flag Bunting pattern or alternatively, Stars and Stripes pattern. On a top action hammer Parker. The owner is curious whether there are any other Parkers out there with the same Damascus pattern.

The "American Flag Bunting", "Washington" or "Stars & Stripes" pattern was quite popular and is found on G & H Grade Lefevers, Ithaca Lewis Grade 4, Ithaca Flues 1 1/2 Grade, Remington 1894 C grade ("Washington N 3. B.P."), Syracuse Arms Co. ("Improved Damascus"), Spencer Gun Co., and Hollenbeck Gun Co. drilling barrels.

Walt Snyder's 4E Flues



This is the 'gold towel guy's' Remington 1894 C grade



The 'lopin' started like this and the pattern was developed specifically for the U.S. market by E. Heuse-Lemoine



It is similar to Remington "Etoile 3. B.P." but with smaller and finer scrolls and stars. This also a 1894 C grade

Thanks Tom. Do you know if your Pieper was for the U.S. market?
The pattern clearly shows that Washington was 3 Iron; 2 full scrolls between 1/2 scrolls.
I believe the 'gold towel' specimen Bruce posted is 2 Iron

We are trying to find out if there are any other Parkers out there with this American Flag Bunting Damascus pattern. We have learned through observation that Parker used odd barrels at times so it's a matter of whether this is the only one , one of twenty etc.

There may be others using the Turkish Star pattern, we don't know

And who knows , maybe there is another Parker with name woven into the pattern like the Terrell gun.
