Parker experts-does is this correct??

[Craig Larter]

I was looking at Julia's fall auction offering. They list a CH 86469 with Bernard barrels-----The top rib appears engraved and not roll stamped and the little arrows at the end of the text are missing----this is a 1898 gun? Just trying to learn would this be correct? The Parker Story shows a roll stamped rib marking for this period. Thanks Sorry about the English in my title I sent it off before I could correct it.

Good question, since this is a Julia's question I'll stay out of it.....

Here are some pictures of mine. I have no comment on the Julia's picture other than "never say never".

Mine is engraved, not 'roll stamped'.

My God what beautiful barrels!

[Russ Jackson]

Dean ,I really like the little scrolls on each side of the Script where you usually see the arrows ! Beautiful Barrels ! Russ

I'll look on the ends of the engraved message on my 1897 Bernard barrels. I'll report back.

Been two hours Bill... have you found your gun yet?

[Dean Romig]

Here's another of mine. I believe this one is roll stamped, not engraved.
