Interesting Observation
 

Today I realized that I had never looked up my Parkers in the book. 114717 a DH has Damascus barrels as does the next one. Two prior guns are DH Titanic. So I assume they could have been made on the same day. 114717 is the best shooting gun I've ever owned. I wonder if I could have viewed all four when they were new which one I would have chosen. All four were 28 inch 12 gauge guns. I have a GH Damascus 26 inch gun that I shoot pretty well also but it is about 6 ounces heaver. Both are 1 1/2 frame. It appears that many people preferred Damascus over fluid steel. I have a Gh PSS 1 1/2 frame that I rarely shoot. I think I know why those that chose Damascus did so.

Yeah, they're a lot prettier and they look a lot stronger with that braided iron and steel than those black barreled guns do. If I had a choice back in 1904 or so, I'd sure take the Damascus one.
