YES! And the engraving is often of a higher quality during some of those early years.

BINGO !! In Jeff's initial post he made reference to a DH as an example. Call me an "engraving snob" and I will fully agree with you. I appreciate the work of one engraver over that of another and will unashamedly admit it every time. In fact, there is one engraver who's work I wouldn't have in my collection... remember, we're talking DH here. On Grade 5 and higher Parkers his work is exemplary. Nevertheless, I am drawn to the engraving more than some other aspects of a Parker and this can be broken down into year-periods. So, the snob in me dictates that I will not own a DH or DHE from the late teens to about 1931..... sorry If I have offended anyone.
