Default Damascus Made for Smokeless

Here's some early documents showing that Parker intended smokeless powder use in damascus guns.

1891 . Two photos of an order page showing a CH Bernard to be targeted with Wood's powder, an early bullk smokeless.

1897 A series of photos from the 1897 Parker catalog showing lifter action hammer guns, top action hammer guns and hammerless guns, and the catalog paragraph explaining the use of smokeless powder in all Parker guns.
