I'm putting my money on they didn't have one in 1896. There really isn't a valid explanation other than what Dave has suggested, unless it was ordered "engrave rib".
What is the serial number of the earliest hammerless Parker with Bernard barrels that had the rib roll stamped? This may help to determine if Dave's suggestion is the answer.
