I don't think you will find another Parker that duplicates the gun under discussion. The knurling itself is of such poor quality I cannot believe Parker Bros. would ever try to duplicate it again. The knurling is overrun, veers in either direction, is not strait, stops between lines, and is very faint in the center of the rib. I agree with ArtS that the work was done on a lathe using a narrowed diagonal knurl. A delivery made in less than 30 days or possibly an outside vendor may have contributed to the poor quality. I also noticed Parker did not charge for the chased rib. With that said, I can find room in my safe for that gun.
