Too bad Parker didn't use chain damascus, I think its a beautiful pattern. Lefevers and Remington Model 1889 also used chain and maybe some day I'll find the right one of those. I like the case colors on those Meridan and Aubrey guns. Underneath the side plates, the internal mechanism are a bit crude and not well finished in comparison to a Parker, even a low grade Parker, but for a collector of classic American made guns, they are a nice addition.
The Meridan buttplate is made of some early plastic material mixed with fibers, not like a Parker. Don't know what its called. You can see that as it deteriorated, the fibers became more noticeable.
