I don’t know in what year Parker Bros. adopted the use of DD (6-iron crolle) Damascus barrels but as I posted earlier, it is EXTERMELY unusual, even unlikely, that PB would have put them on grades lower than 5 (B) and even less likely that they would have been the primary barrel set on a Grade 2 gun.... but anything’s possible I suppose.
To know if those barrels are truly 6-iron crolle they would need to be refinished, at least in part, in order to count the ribbands.
