States it is 1927 Damascus. When did Damascus cease?? This is first I encounter at the vintage given with Damascus barrels. Also, how often would there be a stamping of overload prooved? Continuing education on my part.
Cheers,
Jack

| The Brothers P must have had a good supply of Damascus tubes, as they offered Damascus barrel guns much later then the other American makers. According to The Parker Story the last Damascus barrel DH-Grade was 218119. Timothy's gun appears to be newer, I think I read 222805. Seems I've heard stories that there is at least one vent ribbed Damascus barrel Parker Bros. gun.

Dean,
I have a what started out as a GH 16 0 frame with 28 inch damascuss bbls. This was sent back to Parker and reconfigured to a straight grip, SST, ejectors, ssb, and Btf with the recoil lug .
The only damascuss bbld gun Ive seen with a vent rib is the DH that Jack P has.

| Jack's gun is very nice, but it is a rebarrel or a retrofit factory vent rib, not originally made as a vent rib gun. It is being offered at a reduced price and should be quite an addition to someone's collection. Last edited on Thu Apr 9th, 2009 12:44 pm by Bill Murphy

Rather than hijacking Jack's post, I'll open a new subject.

| I don't know what his reduced price is but last spring/summer I looked at it and he was asking $9500. Tempting but not enough to open the check book.
