I have a CHE 12 with no rib matting # 129528. It has a lot of weird attributes, the least of which is an almost bead blasted rib.

Well that might be because rib matting did not begin until 1885.

Thank you Dean, I have never used that feature.
Edgar the 2 guns are close, both made in 1886.

That was how they were made back then. I don't know the year or serial number when Parker Bros. started matting the ribs but it was obviously after yours was made.
