Miller, I had a very high grade Lefever crossbolt with fluid steel barrels and Damascus ribs. I assume the ribs were originally blued to match the barrels.
Other Lefevers sitting around here show steel ribs on most Damascus or twist barrels, but these guns have Damascus or twist barrels with composite ribs. John Nichols B grade, Lefever sidecocker E grade, Lefever thumb push B grade, and a Lefever H grade.
One Parker C grade with Damascus barrels has a steel rib, while a D grade with Damascus barrels has a Damascus rib.
