It would seem that your Parker was originally made with Damascus barrels but possibly returned to Parker Bros. at some time later to have the barrels replaced with fluid steel barrels. Titanic Steel barrels were the standard for the grade 3 but the Special Steel was less expensive. This is all hypothetical of course and the barrel replacement may have been done by another expert gunsmith.
