Here you go. Respectively 100 and 106 years of original, cared for and unmangled barrels. Two C's. |

And one improved, touched and mangled.

Bruce: Absolutely beautiful from the outset. Very nice. Is the touched/mangled version also damascus? If so, was it sanded/buffed and then blued? Was the rib off and relaid but not well done or is that a lighting effect? What else can you say about the touched/mangled barrels. Thanks for posting these images.
Cheers, Jack

Damascus barrels that were started to be refinished and the process stopped because the foil thin barrels were blistering by the rib. Has Teague liners.
The silvery barrel is what damascus looks like before differential rusting. There is no misleading lighting effect or optical illusion here. You are seeing what it is. |

I am bringing this to the top in the interest of Parker gun collecting and to illustrate what can be done with a broken stock.

The screw's head would have been left very high with the slot completely above the level of the rib. Then it would have been dressed down flush with the rib when finishing.

Bruce, in what part of the finishing procedure did the rippling of the tube present itself? What caused the rippling to appear?

Internally lined barrels have the thin, original outer barrel remaining. If too thin, such as the thickness of stationery paper, blisters can form just from light carding as in refinishing barrels.
The liner was not rippled. To the extent that hoop strength is derived from the combination of the liner and remaining original barrel, strength could be adversely affected by a too thin outer shell. Many people were pleased by their Teague liners. This one was unusual and Teague made good on it, though I don't know the details. Teague no longer has a US representative and I have heard nothing recently about Teague barrel liners. As always, and this is directed to those relatively new to old guns, when a person is interested in an older gun, barrels must be carefully considered. We frequently see on this website the results of uninformed, misinformed or careless purchases. |
