If the back end comes out like the barrels, it will be a gun to be proud of, a no excuses Parker. Pretty damascus is always special. Congratulations.

Scott, I'm new to parker forum, are you the person taking the pics. I confused, thought is was Bruce Day, but appreciate your reply. Let me know your part on the thread about the damascus pics. Happened to be browsing on Parker awhile back and saw the tales of Dale thread about the damascus so I went back again and saw my Lefever barrels.

The set of barrels are from about 1888, bores are super. Picked up Parker GH a week ago with a fantastic set of damascus, inside and out. All orginal 16ga, from about 1903.
