More help need interpreting Parker records.

[Dean Romig]

I wish I could say which serial number Parker Bros began using Damascus Steel only on Grade 2 and higher but there was a point at which this decision was made. It can probably best be determined by researching the various Parker Bros catalogs. And in speaking in general terms again there was a point at which the higher grade of Laminated Steel barrels were discontinued on the higher grades and the lower grade of Laminated Steel was used on Grade 1 guns almost exclusively.

Please excuse my not being able to specifically nail down a date or serial number at which these changes took place.
