It was probably easier to give the customer a Grade 2 than to build a Grade 1. Guns do not always correspond with the order book entry when they are delivered. The stock book is the final configuration of a Parker.

I just went through the stock book that Ray's gun is in. I looked for Lam barrels and the one's I saw were all Lam1's. The Parker story however does list 6 guns in top action grade 2 that had Laminated barrels. 210 in lifter actions and 6 in top action guns. Also of note, TPS lists 11 grade 0 hammer guns as having Dam0 barrels and 260 grade 1 hammer guns with Dam1 barrels. I guess it's not true that Damascus was only used on grade 2 and above.
