And wall thickness? Admittedly no Parker expert, but i would have expected more meat in damascus.

I measured a set of Parker tubes that I know for the fact were honed at least twice and that is almost exactly the wall measurements. I need to go back to the DGJ destructive tests and see where those Parkers fell.

Other damascus I have measured (light English guns) were thicker, and K Kearcher had lightly honed one of them for me.

Still learning here, a lot

Thanks
