Drew-

A bit different, but very close, don't you think? My Meriden uses the same wave pattern on the rib, and by Parker noting the Meriden place of manufacture on the rib, gives the Meriden Firearms Company some resemblance to the Parker rib.
*Edit- the two Meridens' ribs are actually different, I think the rib on mine bears a closer resemblance to the Parker rib. The four wavy lines on both sides of the nomenclature on my Meriden are not as sharp/angular as the Meriden photo you have, and the nomenclature type on my Meriden a bit different as well. Actually the fact that there are two different types of ribs on the Meriden makes me wonder if the similar look to the Parker rib on my Meriden is intentional.
