My 1/2 frame DHE has been fitted with two sets of non original barrels, one set is an orphan 1/2 frame 12 gauge set, the other set a #1 frame 16 gauge orphan set. Don't give up.

Default barrels cut or not cut

I have a Parker GH 12 gauge number one frame with 30 Inch Parker Damascus steel barrels. The second barrel I have is a Parker Vulcan steel barely that is 26 inches long and choke ic and ic. The serial number of the gun is 77807 an under the serial number it says March 15, 1875. I am assuming the 30 inch Damascus barrels were the original barrels on the gun. The only markings I see on the 26 inch Parker Vulcan steel barrels are the initials PW underneath that I assume it’s the barrel weight 3.15 and then a real small 96. under the PW is also the letter D. can any of you let me know about the barrels do they match with the serial number. I shoot steel barrels quite a bit great for skeet and doves. Does anyone have an opinion on shooting the Damascus barrels? Wood finishing them and browning them weaken the barrels or lower the value of the gun?

sorry for being long-winded but a new rookie to the association.

Mike, don't bother lining or sleeving Damascus barrels - it won't be worth the expense.

Have a qualified doublegun smith examine and measure wall thickness on yours. Wham you get the green flag from him, shoot away... with appropriate loads of course.

In fact, all old guns should be inspected and measured before shooting - it just makes good sense to do so.

Refinishing Damascus barrels is usually optional, but it sure makes the barrels look better.

Most of us use low pressure loads from various sources like RST and a couple of others while a great many load their own using published reloading data. A few use black powder.
