Was the vent rib offered on an Eagle grade gun ?

Certainly was; on those guns shipped in the 1920's, and on those earlier vintage guns returned to Hunter Arms and retro-fitted with vent ribbed barrels.

To my knowledge there was no rib other than vent available on Eagle SBTs.

Jim, I read that ventilated ribbed guns do not have the precious metal inlay.

Can anyone verify if the eagle grade guns had an inlay? The ones I've seen do not.

I think to clarify the one topic, I think the eagle grades with a vent rib might not have come with the inlay, but the raised and solid rib barrels did ? Any comment ?

As I posted earlier, guns with ventilated ribs did not have the precious metal inlays. This is from what I have read and seen.

Does this answer your question?

Both my solid rib Eagle sxs and my Eagle SBT with vent have the gold inlay.

During the course of compiling data on SBT guns I have come to the conclusion that: -any grade below Specialty does not have an inlay, that includes Olympic's, Ideal's (that no one has seen) and Whippet's (that no one has seen) -Specialty's and Eagle's can have either gold, silver or no inlay -all (with below caveat) higher grades have gold inlays. I suspect the same may be true of non-vent doubles. Brophy states that doubles with vent ribs do not have inlays. I have never seen one. Just remember to never say "never" or "all" about these guns as something odd will, I am sure, turn up.

As mentioned in a previous post, here is an Eagle with vent rib and gold inlay.
