Thanks for posting Jay....

The ruler should have been a metal machinists scale/ruler in 64ths by 1" (scale 4) increments and laid in line/parallel with the checkering rows.

From these pictures I would say the LPI is 24/26. Very far from the 36 or 40 LPI mentioned on page one - which probably doesn't exist on any gun - - - 24/26 LPI puts this gun in line with all the published data for this grade of L.C. Smith.... Note the chart I posted on page one of this thread for L.C. Smith factory checkering LPI....
