I suppose I'll get flamed for this, but I find that coarse checkering and stippling around the fleur-de-lis on high grade post WW-II Model 12 and 21s pretty poor compared to what our factories were putting out on high grade Parker Bros., Remington, Lefever, etc. doubles sixty years earlier. The checkering on the F-Grade Remington pumps and autos being made concurrently with those Model 12 and 21s was better.
