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.

My, how unusual! I know what WK means but are some of the other stamps Italian proof marks?
That is the first and only rib I have seen marked that way. Further, it does not have the Parker roll-matting on the gtop rib. How strange! I wonder what the "story" is with this Parker.

It definately appears to be new production barrels. Possibly reusing a few parts, like the locking lugs and such. But, there does not seem to be any sign of sleeving.
The rib does not look original to me. The font of the marking is larger and not correct style to be original. Also, the opening in the matting (for the letters) looks to be larger than normal. I think that the rib was just the barrel makers reasonable attempt at recreating the parker markings.
I do not think, off the top of my head, that Parker ever abreviated Meriden as "MER". Who knows why they chose to use ACME as the steel name on this set.
