Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

No roll stamping on top of rib, it will be hand engraved. TPS lists aprox 407 vent ribs guns in all grades and gauges. There are some books missing from the mid to late 20's at the time vent ribs became widely available. Even so it is safe to say any original vent rib is rare, the fact that Damascus barrels were special order after vent ribs were introduced makes them very rare IMHO.

Knowing the serial number would help. The first vent ribs may have been installed on standard frames rather than flat top frames. Of course, a retrofitted vent rib barrel set doesn't detract from the value very much, if it was installed by Parker Brothers.
