“Fluid pressed” and “fluid compressed” are two accepted terms for the same product.
Regarding matching barrel steel types with the steel types of the ribs (if they were intended to be matched) must have been a tough job because I have examined composite barrels with ribs that do not match them. For instance, Twist barrels with Damascus rib(s) where often the top rib may match the barrel steel but the bottom rib is entirely different. Granted it’s unusual to see these just as it is unusual to see a composite doll’s head extension on composite barrels.
I guess there are exceptions to every rule. So I guess we should continue to say “when it comes to Parkers, never say never.”
