Brian, I had the stamp made for a very specific reason. The entire project was to create, as close as possible, the original look of a Parker A1S. The original rib stamp "Parker Reproduction by Winchester.........Made on Japan" just did not get me there.

I understand.
If it were me, I would think using one of the Meriden ACME or PEERLESS stamps would be just fine vs. making something new. Thanks again for helping get to the bottom of this matter.

The subject of rib markings by both roll stamping as well as engravings is covered in great detail in The Parker Story.
