Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Hello Charlie,
I have a DH 20 with 28" Damascus barrels and the barrel flat of the right barrel also has a D with a 4 immediately above it. I believe it must stand for '4 iron crolle'. I know most Grade 2 (G) guns have '3 iron crolle' so it would make sense to me that the higher Grade 3 gun would have a higher grade of Damascus.
my barrel weight is 3 lbs., 2 oz. and at the rear of the flat is a 3 which stands for Grade 3. There is also a C and I don't know the significance of that.
On the flat of the left barrel is only W.K. in an oval which is the stamp of Walter King and an ampersand (&) and I don't know the significance of that either.
I couldn't guess at the 8 on your lug so I'll leave that alone.
Dean

Dean, I have a 16 gauge GH two barrel set and both barrels have a D with a 4 above it. Since it is possible the gun was a special order, I wonder if a higher grade barrel was requested.
