I do miss the "mullered" boarders that are absent on the Ilion checkering.

I agree with you Ralph. Those finely cut mullered borders were just one more sign of attention to detail and lent a level of true ‘class’ to the Parker Gun.

Fortunately, mullered borders are easy to cut in for a person competent at checkering. However, I wouldn't cut them in on a gun that is factory original without them.
