'Scuse me Ian... I never said it was the last Damascus barreled Parker produced - I merely said it was in the era where Damascus barreled Parkers were rare. Fluid steel barrels had been around for about three decades and the move by PB was to phase out the composite barreled Parkers....
SHEEESH folks are really gettin' the "Shack Nasties" lately... more commonly known as Cabin Fever.
