The last Damascus barreled Parker
 
Has this ever been determined? This was on the tag of a nice DH 12 ga,
ser# 230234 that I stumbled across while helping my wife's cousin clean out things from her deceased parents house. A DH 12 with nice damascus barrels, 30", look to me like the original case coloring, but I think the stock was cut, 131/4" over a SSBP that looks to have been reblued at some point.
I cant post all the pictures right now, have a tennis match to get to, so these are just teasers, and will try to post the others after my match tonight.
Really interested in the opinions here, maybe someone can look up the serial# in the book. It is not mine, but might be soon.

A letter may tell whether the short stock is factory. It's pretty difficult to install a skeleton butt on a cut stock. Nice gun. I assume it won't be for sale.

Home page says no info.

Does the list that Josh is keeping have information on the latest recorded Damascus gun?

Apparently, the serial # is not in the books, rats, but thanks for looking Jim. I will be ordering a letter on it tomorrow. There is a good chance that I may be able to pick up this gun. I'm posting the rest of the pictures and looking forward to your thoughts/comments.
Oh yeah, I won my tennis match.

Unfortunately, a letter cannot be ordered. Is there anything in the ser# book?
