Gentlemen,

Fine Damascus, noted by a DD stamp on the barrels flats, was used on Grades 5 and 6, the B and A Grade Parkers. Lower grades had Damascus, Bernard on many C Grades, and twist barrels. There are of course exceptions such as a GH 10 Gauge of mine with Damascus barrels that are 6 blade Turkish. While not the fine Damascus of the higher grade, they are mighty nice barrels! I have never seem another set on a Parker.

Mark
