As for the type of wood it is walnut.
While it is possible to refinish Damascus barrels it does require some knowledge and skill.
Since you didn't list where you live it is impossible for a member or associate that lives near you to give you any help.
Do have your gun checked by a gunsmith but, not all gunsmiths are well informed about Damascus shotguns and most will probably advise against shooting it regardless of it's condition.
Good luck with your quest.

I will explore the "collections information" and see what else I can find. I'm located in Sarasota, FL. If there happens to be somebody close by that knows about parkers I will gladly bring it by.
I will try and find a gunsmith that may be well informed about Damascus shotguns.
Thanks!
