Bruce, I just happen to have one of those CH guns without the arrows at each end of the rib inscription. I say 'rib inscription' because it was not done with a roll die but was engraved. This one is obviously a Bernard barreled CH.

The very early hammerless guns had hand engraved rib inscriptions, but by the mid 1890's all I have seen were roll stamped. The early hammerless ones sometimes omitted the arrrows, but this one is unusual because it is a 1904 gun and should have had the arrows. It is roll stamped.

Bruce,
I don't have any pictures handy but my 1902 Whitworth barrels have the inscription engraved and are also without the arrows. |

My CH Bernard is ser. no. 84088 an 1896 gun. I wonder what determined wether the rib legend was roll stamped or engraved within the same grade?

My BH grade Damascus gun #84709 is roll stamped with arrows and so is D grade #84212.
Is it possible that Parker didn,t have a roll stamp for Bernard guns? Does anyone have one?
