A common complaint among Parker and Parker Reproduction owners is the lack of correct Meriden style Mullered checkering borders on the production Parker Reproductions.
In fact, the quality of the checkering on production Parker Reproductions is overall lacking. The root being the way the checkering was executed. On these guns, the border outline was cut fully first and then everything was filled in with the point pattern. This creates areas of the pattern that end up with lines not being even with the borders. But... I digress.
This particular DHE Reproduction was brought to me by a gentleman wanting the plain borders converted to the mullered type. Below are the results. I am sure this is nothing new, but thought some would be interested in seeing.
