Bottom rib of a Parker 8g.

What incredible variety. :shock:

Wow those are really some attractive barrels there Breck, makes me want to go out and pick up a damascus barreled gun.... :-)

How would you catgorize this rib as to source and pattern?

Seems to be a laminate probably sourced from Belgium. Much too late a gun to be Parker USA made. Hard to say. On Damascus ribs that I’ve had to strip and relay, there was a “D” stamp on the underside. Maybe this one has an “L” stamp.

That's a beautiful Laminated rib. Enlarge the picture by double or triple clicking on the picture. You will see the 'weld line' waving through the length of it between the ribbands., Very nice!

that's some fine rib patterns...I would never get to shoot any thing for looking at those ribs.........charlie

New member but have been lurking awhile; here's another example from top and bottom ribs of a 1910 DHE 12 gauge.

That second picture makes me think of my lava lamp from the 1960’s.
