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.

Mr. Hershfield:
What barrels/ribs Parker fitted up in 1891 was entirely at the discretion of the purchaser and/or Parker craftsman. Theories are often just that. If I were you, I'd trust the pro...

A look at the barrel flat markings may generate a clue. The barrels could be sleeved, but the breech would still be Damascus. "Doesn't think they are Damascus" doesn't sound like a comment that would come from a gunsmith we would recommend. Either they are or they aren't Damascus.
