Michael: You didn't say whether the barrels on the Parker that you are considering are fluid steel or Damascus, twist or laminated. You should be able to tell quickly by what is engraved on the top rib. Then you will want to have the wall thickness measured as TARNATION suggested by an experienced double gunsmith who will also check things like, is it on face, are the ribs tight, does the action & ejectors (if it has ejectors) function properly and last but not least does the gun fit you?
Best Regards, George
