Hi,
was checkering pointed or flat-top during this era for this grade - 1929 Parker 12 ga VHE.
Many thanks

Pointed. To my knowledge, Parker Bros. never offered or produced any guns with flat-topped checkering.

Travis,
Re-cutting well-worn checkering is tough duty for even the most talented. It can be done, but it's easily butchered. Find a really great artist of the trade if you proceed.
