Definitely Laminated of some sort Josh - What make of gun is it on? What year of manufacture or if a Parker, serial number range?
If it is a Parker in the late 1870's - early 1880's look for a P stamped where the barrel steel is normally stamped.
However, it looks to me more like the Laminated Steel that Parker Bros imported beginning in the late 1880's into the late 1890's.
