Narrative:
Normal checklists completed before entering gate area. I cleared right side of aircraft for captain as aircraft approached gate keeping ground marshaller in sight at all times. Parking and chocking completed without incident. Checklist completed. Upon leaving cockpit, the crew was informed that there was a gash cut in #1 engine nacelle, most likely from contact with jetway. No collision during taxi was felt by me in the cockpit.
