My now famous "Jack Cronkhite" CH reunited Parker has two sets of Bernard Steel barrels with engraved names on each set. A local Parker collector and friend has a CH 34" Bernard Steel ten gauge with name engraved on the rib. When an extra set of 3 1/2" 34" Acme Steel barrels were built for this gun later in life, Parker Brothers engraved the name of the son (or grandson) of the original owner on that rib. I have not seen a letter on this gun and the owner is not much of a letter guy. Kevin McCormack wrote a DGJ article about a name engraved gun, a VHE 12 gauge. Alex Papp from RST had a name engraved pigeon gun at one time, if I recall correctly. The Seward Webb eight gauge B Grade hammer gun is name engraved. The assumption is that the two matching waterfowl guns built for Webb also have his name engraved on the ribs. So name engraved guns are out there but they are very scarce and are usually guns of character, name engraved or not.
