Parker Damascus Barrels
 
Have been looking for a 10 b Parker hammerless with Damascus barrels.
One I looked at said
"This Parker is in very good condition with the barrels having no rust, pitting and a couple mild waves in he bore. The stock is sound with no cracks. The right barrels looks to be on face and the left has a slight bit of light".

Opinions please?
Thanks!
Jim

Buy it on an inspection period and get the barrels checked out.

The waviness in the bore could be old dents that were taken out. Or could be minor bulges. Or you may find them to be nothing at all.
The one side of the breech being a tad off face should not be too much of a concern as long as the lockup is good and tight.

I saw that one

I wondered what the waves would be in a typical thick set of 10 tubes

I know there are thinner set, I have one, but most of my 10s are thick

I think Brian has the right idea. A clear inspection agreement and get them checked out
