Jay is correct. Parker sourced "Bessemer/Decarbonized Steel" from Remington Arms. Pages 503 & 504 of The Parker Story state that Parker changed the name to "Plain Steel" as Remington was using the name "Decarbonized" on their newly introduced Whitmore Model 1873 & 1875/1876 Lifter doubles. 889 Parkers were made with Decarbonized Steel barrels.
