IMO, mullering the borders a la Parker Brothers isn't necessarily correct. Tom Skuese sent several of his Remington era Parkers to Japan to be duplicated. Those guns did not have mullered borders as was done by Parker Brothers. But neither did the checkerers in Japan correctly replicate the borders in the Remington style either.
Here is what Remington borders should look like. Pictures 1, 2, 3, and 4 are Remington style borders while the last two are Parker Bros. mullered borders just for comparison. Personally I like the mullered borders but they're not correct for the Parker Reproductions by Winchester.
