Other than Whitworth Steel, what other fluid-pressed steel barrels were available from Parker Bros. in 1891????

Exactly. I had been working on a response for the last 15 minutes saying that which sounded right. I just don't think its reasonable or rational that this G has Whitworth barrels, but if so, it will have the Whitworth wheat sheaf and numbered barrels, so please post photos.

Bill is also dead on right. There will be a D mark on the flats, and a skilled person can tell Damascus from fluid steel.
