I compared the writing on the rib of this Damascus barrel with that on my Acme barrel, I had to use a very white and bright LED light and a magnifying glass to read the rib of the Damascus gun, and it was still difficult because it is written so finely.

I am awaiting my roll crimper which I ordered last week, picked up a bunch of cases at the gun club just to practice on.

Congratulations! That's a dandy...and one of my favorite engraving periods. They don't get much nicer.

A really nice Grade-4!
Please give us a picture of the rib engraving. We rarely see a white-tail deer on a Parker... usually a bull elk of stag of some sort. I really prefer the white-tail by a wide margin!! .

Rib inscription CHE pictures
I have added 4 pictures of the rib markings which say "Parker Bros Makers Meridan Conn Damascus Steel". The first picture is the full marking which is so small it's difficult to get a picture of it with my cheap camera so the next few are up very close starting from left to right. One day I'll break down and purchase something that works.

Beautiful gun! Damascus ribs are hard to read because of all swirling patterns.
