Bruce,
On my computer screen the top rib logo looks to be engraved and not roll stamped. Is this a clue the vent rib was installed much later in life than in 1907? My understanding from reading previous posts on the subject on Parkers built with Damascus barrels in the late 20's where customers ordered a new gun and the factory was instructed to "frame up and stock old barrels" the customer supplied. The rolling die couldn't be found so they engraved them. Does anyone know when the logo engraving first appeared on late Damascus guns?
Beautiful pictures Bruce.
