Cool gun. Never seen the Damascus pattern on this one like on other Parker grades.

i would like to see a close up of any marks on the underside of the barrels

maybe this "maker" fitted new damascus barrels to a Parker frame

Maybe not a barrel address but requested with the new owners name and add on the barrel. A letter may be in order.

I can't seem to get a close-up view, but it may be an 'added' inscription atop the Parker rib.

The photo are terrible quality. But it does look very similar to Bernard barrels.

The rib extension fit looks iffy. And the forend lug is a lot fatter than normally seen of Parkers. My guess would be the barrels were replacements made from new, custom.

Mr Weston was obviously not really the "maker" but more probably the custom 'assembler' of non-original (to that particular Parker) barrels and possibly other parts as well.

Definitely Bernard - possibly "No. 16 Bernard I"

That is the screw that helps retain the extension.
