I agree with Chris Dawe on all points except that the gun wasn't made with Damascus barrels, it was made with Titanic fluid steel barrels. Must have been on the 1-frame as 3lbs, 6 oz. is relatively light. I'll guess the barrels were somehow damaged and required replacement.... odd that it wasn't just sent back to Parker Bros. or Remington unless the gun was in England at the time of the damage.
