It says Bernard steel...just don't have a pic of it with me. Inscription is documented in the letter.

It’s a Parker James. This gun predates the introduction of rib-matting.

David, the picture is cropped so you can only see that it says Steel.
If you could see what was before that I would imagine that it says
"Parker Bros Maker. Meriden Conn. Bernard Steel".
The rest of the inscription is likely the purchaser or importer in Ontario.

Dean, did you mean to address the comment to Dave? I suspect James knows it's a Parker, as he owns the gun.

Nope, sorry, I was replying to Tennessee Dave’s questioning if the pic of the rib is of a different gun, but I should have quoted his question and mistakenly named James.

Rib inscriptions naming the owner of the gun are rare and interesting. We would like to see another picture of this inscription.

Please disregard this post. I had a brain fart when I submitted it.
