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..
Photos of various forms of rib matting are provided for those viewers interested in such details. Meriden/Aubrey rib matting is very close to Parker rib matting but not identical, as the Parker matting was more "squiggles" per measurement than Meriden/Aubrey.
Parker, Meriden, Aubrey, and Remington barrels/ribs are obvious. The last two photos are of Lefevers, first a custom grade then an E with chain.

Bruce, and all, please refer to Parker Pages Volume 20, Summer 2013, Issue 2 in the article submitted by Dave Suponski "The Machining of the Parker Gun Barrel" wherein rib matting is discussed on page 39.
Matt, I believe this is a laminated pattern. Perhaps Dr. Drew Hause can identify it.
I believe you're right Bruce. Parker Bros used a similar Laminated in some higher grade hammerguns. Take a look at "a friend's" Grade-4 that he got out of New Hampshire that was on display in Louisville at the gun show at the time of the 2011 annual meeting. Very similar in pattern.
