The rib is numbered underneath just like a CHE vent rib gun and a GHE vent rib gun that I have access to. You have to tilt the guns just right with a light to see the numbers. As far as I know there is no Parker or Griffin & Howe letter available, but my eyes and experience tell me this gun was born with the vent rib. It does have a curved rib extension and top frame area. This radius looks to be less curved than a standard rib gun but not as flat as most vent rib guns I have seen. I have more pictures available. 32" barrels choked IM & IM ... A fairly late Damascus barreled vent rib GHE trap gun.
