Okay. I have just gone out and taken the pictures of the gun that I think you guys would like. I will try and post them up tonight, but here is what I know with your help. Both barrels have the Parker Brothers etching on top, but the word damascus had been marked out and steel placed afterward. This is on top. On the part of the barrel that connects to the gun it is marked with a d (which I have read stands for damascus) and a mark that represents 3 pounds 10 ounces and 6 ounces respectively for each barrel. On the part that attaches to the gun it is labelled a 1 on both. I think whoever was looking at the resleeving was dead on. The forearms, and gun all have matching serial numbers.

I still say it's a good deal. Jump on it.

Is there a viable line around the tubes just in front of the chambers? This will tell you that they have been sleeved.

John Couch 08-27-2012 03:21 PM

Yes, I am 100% sure they have been resleeved after you told me what to look for. I have read about the monoblocking and some other types. I don't know which one of those was used but it is definitely redone.

I agree that the gun would be a great shooter and as the others have said unless there are major issues, I would be outside the store with cash in my hand. Aside from the forearms matching what condition is the stock in? You appear to have a nice gun and with the two sets of barrels ,it should serve you well

Krupp used a circular, or slightly oval 'signiture' engraving, in which it may say fluestahl, or some such wording. Krupp barrels are perhaps the highest quality European manufactured barrels. Krupp's metalurgy was lightyears ahead of the British and American for a long time, and are still premier steel manufacturers.

Here are the 12 gauge barrel markings, buttplate, and the gun itself and the end of the 20 gauge barrel.

I am noticing a few more markings that I hope can lead to who might have redone the barrels. I am still confused by the marking of G and not GH. In reading the literature it says that a G model should be a hammer gun. I think it is a frame 1. Opinions please. I also have more pictures if there is something specific.

Are both sets of barrels sleeved ? If they are,I may be way out here but I would have to think if I were going to spend that money I would put it into a different gun. Sorry JMHO

John Couch 08-27-2012 08:31 PM

Yes it seems both are sleeved.
