I am pretty sure current sleeved barrels were done over the original Damascus barrels that shipped with the gun - all the markings on the barrel flats appear correct, etc. The D stamp is there. Then again I have not handled many Damascus parkers.
When examined closely it obvious that the steel marking was tampered with - and the rest of the wording is original to the rib.
*EDIT* - I dont think Im qualified to say the "PARKER BROS., MAKER, MERIDIAN, CONN." is original just that it really, really does not look like it had been tampered with, added or had any sanding done around it. Particularly when compared to the added "TITANIC"
