Jack, good pictures. I used a Lab and pointer together until my Lab died a couple years back. The Lab was good at hunting dead and trailing and would wait until she saw that the pointer had birds.
I have a CHE 16ga from 1904 that was originally damascus and was also sent back in the late 1930's to Remington for fluid steel barrels. Of course I wish I had the original damascus barrels but there are stories of Remington destroying lots of damascus barrels. Sounds to be the same situation with your Parker.
I see you are in Fayetteville. My uncle retired from the chemistry dept at the U. of Arkansas. He lived in a Fay Jones designed house on a hilltop just outside Fayetteville for many years until moving in a nursing home.
