Actually "Chasing" a Parker rib is not something that can be done for a reasonable amount of money. If anyone knows someone who will "Chase" a well worn Parker rib and make it look original for less than about a thousand dollars, I would like to know who he is. Oscar was a friend of mine, and a friend of many others who gave him trashed out guns to work on. He seldom refused them. He would have been better to turn down some lost causes. I met him in the early days of his experimentation with case hardening and Damascus browning. In those days, his Damascus browning was more to my liking than the case hardening.
