Thanks for the info Dean. Oddly, the rib lettering is a little different between these two guns. Kind of block letters on one and more like an outline of the letters on the other???

Dean, I believe it is the gun on the flag.

I see. David's gun on the flag is a very nice Parker, however I believe it has been recolored. The clue is that the trigger guard is also case colored while Parker and Remington blued the trigger guards.
