Beginner here, with new to me Parker DH

The only rolled on engraving used on Parkers was on the 0 grade hammer gun lock plates in the 1880s. did not last long. All other engraving is by hand.

I don't think a roll stamp could do this, but I could be wrong........

Thank you both gentlemen, I suspected (and hoped) that it was all by hand. Amazing workmanship, I'm proud to own such a piece of American craftsmanship.

The rib matting was done by machine and the legend on the rib was usually roll-stamped, though some of the higher grades and some of the early hammer guns rib legends were hand engraved.

This is an example of the rolled on "engraving" I mentioned in my post above.
