Need help identifying Rogers bone

Can anyone give me some clues as how to identify rogers bone handles? For the life of me I am unable to pick out the difference when I see a picture of a knife with rogers bone scales. I need to know exactly what this jigged pattern looks like. Any detailed photos would be greatly appreciated.

Jim,
This bone barlow was marketed by Dave Shirley as Rogers Jigged Bone. I am sure others have the original vintage rogers bone to show as examples but this may give you a start...

in the jan. knife world issue gary talks about rogers bone. it went through several incarnations, early to late.

Rogers bone can vary somewhat in color. Wr era and Bradford era Rogers bone many times has a little different jigging than does tested examles of early rogers. Late rogers is usually red to red/brown, and found mostly in the XX era. I don't have an image of late Rogers but the rest are illustrated below.
