The 'DD' suggests the refinished barrels would be spectacular 6 Iron "Turkish"

In the Parker Bros. catalog as "Finest Damascus."
Rarely, if ever, seen on grades below Grade 5. .

Has anyone confirmed whether the DD stamp is associated with upgraded Damascus barrels?

The barrels themselves are not upgraded but a Grade 2 with DD barrels would seem to indicate the barrels had been replaced at one point in time.
Austin Hogan donated seven Parker hammer guns to the PGCA just before his demise. One of them was a Grade 2 with two sets of barrels. The second set added by Parker at a later date were beautiful 6-iron DD barrels... but again, they were added at a later date. They weren’t an “upgrade” per se, but rather, just a set of barrels Parker Bros. had on hand that were used to fill the request. As I recall, they were short like 26” or 24”. .

The letter I received for 23089 from order book 12 does not indicate a barrel replacement and is as specified 30 inches. So, should I assume that these barrels are 6-iron "Turkish" Damascus?

I don’t know in what year Parker Bros. adopted the use of DD (6-iron crolle) Damascus barrels but as I posted earlier, it is EXTERMELY unusual, even unlikely, that PB would have put them on grades lower than 5 (B) and even less likely that they would have been the primary barrel set on a Grade 2 gun.... but anything’s possible I suppose.
To know if those barrels are truly 6-iron crolle they would need to be refinished, at least in part, in order to count the ribbands. .
