STUB?TWIST
Bill; Here are a couple of pictures that caused me to use the words "ephemeral" and "outranks". Note both ribs are marked "Stub Twist". Stub Twist 3920 is indicated to be the least expensive twist Parker cataloged at the time according to the archive. Stub Twist 22614 is not a T(0); it has checking and a little engraving.
Stub Twist 3920 has a pattern much like guns with ribs marked Twist. Stub Twist 22614 has a somewhat different pattern than usual twist barrels.
I think the real question raised from these two barrel sets marked "Stub Twist" is this; was Stub Twist a production method or a Trade Mark? Was the trade mark used early on to identify a lower grade, and later to indicate a higher grade? I have wondered about this since having these two similarly branded guns.
Best, Austin
