DH, GH, They are all nice. I agree that the contrast on the twist barrels on the PH are hard to beat.

The plain Damascus patterns on GH and DH Parkers are so common that they get overlooked

Bernard is attractive, but it's the chain damascus I see on Elsies and Lefevers that gets me going.

For Parker patterns, Bernard is my personal favorate followed by Laminated.

They are all awesome in my book. If I have to rate them I would pick Bernard #1 followed by P-Laminated like this on a Grade-2 lifter below.

is it Stars and stripes? Etoille? or Amercian bunting on Remington '94s. Chain on Elsies, and what looks like laminated on H and Rs. All are nice and the varying patterns are spectacular.

The hard labor and incredible skill in being able to repeat the uniformity and beauty in each and every tube just blows me away.
Laminated Steel barrels made by Parker Bros. in those three years of barrel production, 1877, 78, and '79 are probably my favorite. I wonder how many were made with those barrels... we'll never know, I'm sure. Charlie Herzog has a couple of Parkers with the extremely rare American Flag Bunting and if I am not mistaken, the "Terrell" gun as well. Absolutely amazing!! .
