Correct rib matting

[gregg conley]

I wasn't able to attend the Vintagers and wondered if the rib matting on the Simmons barrels is an exact copy of original Parker rib matting. I have seen discussion on this forum that the Galazan rib matting would not be an exact copy of Parker Brothers matting. Is that a true statement?
Is the rib matting on the AHE Galazan makes the same has an original Parker Bros? I am thinking of ordering a set of barrels and would like them to look as much as possible like the original Parker Brothers.

The rib matting on the Simmons barrels is the best I have seen on recently made replacement barrels.

Ditto what Dean said.

I never even got to see them. When were they shown around? Where the hell was I ? :banghead:

Wonder if they could straighten up my VH? Jerry
