I really love any Damascus barrel but the pattern on my GH sure holds a special spot in my heart.

This is the nicest I ever owned, Laminated on a lifter. I know it doesn't look it but all three pictures are of the same gun, better photos would help but ... best I can do.

I know that gun Robin and I believe the barrels are of Parker Bros. manufacture too. Do you recall the serial number? If I recall correctly, the P stamp is absent from the right barrel flat but the year of manufacture is more of a 'dead giveaway'.

I like them all. A suggestion: A display of Damascus, twist and laminated barrels at a shoot. Just put your gun in a rack for for a few hrs at a shoot so everyone everyone to see the beauty of the various barrels ( Parker, Elsie, Fox, Remington, LeFeaver). Mike's shoot in September?

Not a Parker, but nice chain link pattern on my Ithaca grade 3 Lewis from 1905.

Yes, I think you're right Robin. An L4 and in the right serial range too.
