Leighton, I think that's not a correct guess....
Oh, and a bad guess on the year too... it's 1892.

I'm sure no expert on Damascus barrels but have read that all Parker Damascus was originally black and white. That being said it makes sense that with age the iron and steel would oxidize which should result in a brownish (rust) color such as on Deans example.
