Default Laminated Barrels

Old Parkers with laminated barrels. Some people find these interesting.

Laminated barrel guns are certainly attractive and hard to find. We have an early 20ga Quality P hammerless on the way which should also have attractive laminated barrels.

Mr Holcombe was inquiring about laminated and Damascus Parker barrels. The Damascus barrels start at Quality G, laminated the same but are often found in the higher level dollar grade guns, as they were early. The laminated barrel guns are sought in about any condition if they can be rescued. Damascus barreled hammer guns are far more common but are uncommon and desired in decent condition and field friendly weight. If a person is content to have a hammer Parker in Quality O ( twist barrels), unfriendly weight of over 8 pounds, and chopped barrel or stock, those can be found at appropriate low prices. Laminated barrel guns were generally made during the lifter action years.

The above laminated barreled Parkers would be at far higher values.
