Looks like 7 Damascus and 7 titanic steel.. So if original then yes.

Thanks Kirk. The one i have started out life with damascus barrels but sometime along the way it was rebarreled by parker with WK's mark on the flats and with serial number that matches. So i guess that would make it 8.

Just a quick follow-up to Allan's question to clarify my understanding of those numbers in TPS. The numbers refer to hammerless guns in general, but not necessarily whether DH guns had extractors or ejectors, correct? The data on production of guns with extractors vs. ejectors doesn't exist because it was a custom option available at the time of order?

Michael, (TroutSetter), I see we share the same passions. Growing up I hunted Hooksett and Bow NH with my Dad and his setters. I have my own setter now (steady to flush and retrieves naturally). Would love to come up some Saturday this Fall and bird hunt with you. My apologies gents for changing the subject. Just couldn't resist.

Hi Allen,

Sure! I'm always up to bird hunting with new people. Drop me a PM sometime and we'll connect! I have a couple setters. One 5 yrs and one 2 yrs. Thanks for reaching out!

Mike

Allen did no favors for this thread. I guess it's all over for the original poster.
