Hello Jerry. Looking at the barrel photos, it looks like the original Parker rib is below that strap vent rib, so you are fortunate the original was not removed and discarded like so many were. I suspect its just soldered on with soft solder. Fill the holes and get it re-browned and it will look like a proper damascus barreled gun should.Good luck.

I disagree with Bruce. The Moneymaker rib gives the gun character. Spending a bunch of money to remove the rib and refinish the barrels is counterproductive and will result in a gun that may have visible holes in the rib and worth less than you have in the repairs. Sell it to me and I will leave the rib in place. Your choice.
