Matt,
Take the time to do a bit of research or an analysis of what Parkers are selling for over a couple month period. Stay on top of forum sales, as well as gunbroker auctions to see what guns are selling for. Also look at asking prices as compared to condition.
PH and GH Parkers are the most common Damascus guns on the market and some very nice ones can be had. If Damascus does not scare you off, then you can get a very nice gun for a lot less money than a fluid steel.
You asked a good question regarding the barrel length on that 16g. The rib mating running off the end is a sign to proceed cautiously. Especially if the price is higher. This particular one checked out as proof that some original guns were made that way.
