More help need interpreting Parker records.

Sorry, guys. You are working on the assumption that Ray's gun has Laminated barrels. Ray has posted that it is a Grade 2, top to bottom, markings, Damascus barrels, and engraving. Yes, Laminated barrels are installed on Parkers above grade 1 and Damascus barrels are installed on guns below grade 2. However, those facts do not involve the gun in our discussion. As Chuck mentions, our discussion is covering some as yet uncovered research. See next post.

So Bill, you've never gone a little bit off topic on your replies

No, I appreciate the depth of this discussion, but Ray's gun is a grade 2 in all aspects except the order book entry. The finished gun is just a change from the original order.
