This is a situation that I have seen a number of times either Lefever guns for some reason. I have not personally seen it with Parkers. The only similar thing I have seen is a damascus rib on a fluid steel barrel or something like that. Again, simply factory error. Like dean said, if tubed got mixed up or mis-marked, it would not be perfectly clear until well into the process.

As to the “sample” theory… Parker offered more than just two types of composite steel tubes. So that idea does not hold much water from that standpoint.

And the factory did have samples of different sorts of composite tubes, short sections of them. For show and tell, or collected from tube suppliers.


I would wonder what patterns were they? Twist and damascus? Laminated? Or just different variations of damascus?
