In my opinion DD Damascus barrels represent Finest Damascus, however, the authors of The Parker Story did not make that representation. Yours is only the second Grade 2 Parker I've heard of that had DD Damascus barrels. The only other one I have seen an example of is a Grade 2 hammer gun with two original sets of Damascus barrels. Set number 1 is 30" and is D Damascus while set number 2 is 26" and is DD Damascus barrels. There may be, and probably are a few examples of Grade 3 Parkers with DD Damascus barrels as well as a few in Grade 4, but DD Damascus barrels are commonly seen on Grade 5 and above.
These are my opinions only and are based only on what I have personally seen and examined.
