Wait a minute.... Some are saying that the "book" shows it as a D and others are saying the "book" shows it as a G.... something's fishy here. What "book" is being used as a reference?
A D2 is a Damascus barreled grade 2 or G grade and a D3 is a Damascus barreled grade 3 or D grade. In either case there will be a D stamped on the barrel flats under the right barrel near the front of the flat and if it is a grade 3 gun (D grade) there will be a 3 stamped nearer the breech of the flat on the same barrel. A grade 2 or G grade gun will usually not have the numeral 2 stamped at the breech end of the flat of the right barrel.
I looked it up in the Parker serialization book and 76079 is listed as a D2 gun, 12 gauge with 30" tubes but Freddy looks pretty serious in that picture so if he says it's a DH then so be it...lol.
