I own a AH 10ga with damascus barrels that was a Parker exhibition gun. Here is the description from Julia's: "Excellent, as found. Bbls retain 85 to 90% orig Damascus pattern with some streaky staining (which may clean). Action retains 60 – 70% strong orig case hardening color, with some brown staining (which also might clean). Trigger guard retains 60-70% of its strong orig blue. Stocks retain most of their orig gloss finish, areas darkened where worn through, and oil soaked, with a considerable number of light marks and scratches. Bores are very fine with very light minute frosting. Action is tight. It is estimated that only eight 10 bore grade 6 guns were made with 32″ bbls." I paid $26.5K delivered to my home. It seems in line with the BB values. Craig
