At least it is hand cut and not done with a laser, which I hate.
Gerry, I've cleaned up the checkering on most of the guns I've owned and it's possible to make it look much better, although sometimes not perfect. It also allows the wood figure in the checkered area to show up better. Parker Reproductions in particular seem to have many flat topped diamonds and the lines often aren't cut to the edge of the pattern. The spacing can often be improved a lot.
