My Father's 1901 VH-Grade has the Kf in that location on its barrel flats.

The Brits refer to flat wide ribs as "pigeon ribs". Many Parkers with that rib are pigeon style guns. By the way, the late CHE that Dave referred to was in the shop where I worked a few years back and was slow sale because of its extremely high condition. Live and learn. I think it is pictured in TPS. Never seen a short barrel flat rib.

There is a section in The Parker Story (look in the index) on the many markings or stampings on the barrel flats. Many are known while several continue to stump the experts. The letters "K", "WK", and "Kf" are known.

Ok, I'm going to ask Pete and Scott to send me a few crows next time they knock some down as I have discovered that I have to "Eat Crow".

On Page 582 of The Parker Story, the stamps "K" and "WK" are thought to be those of Walter King, the son...

Humble apologies to Dave Suponski
