I have seen this gun personally and the rib matting is truly impressive. It is the only example of this style of matting that I have ever seen personally. It is more of a very fine knurling on the whole surface of the rib.
This was a sort of transitional operation that was used to matte ribs before Parker used their typical cut method of matting the ribs.
I am sure not many guns were made with that type of matting on them.
