Drew, I think that last opinion is worth quite a lot to collectors and historians of the Parker Gun.
As I stated earlier in this thread “I don’t know when the DD barrels began to appear on Parkers” and I examined the hammer gun Austin donated to the PGCA and the second set were stamped DD and were definitely 6-iron barrels. Don’t know what the donor gun was but if your opinion proves correct, which it probably will, Parker Brothers would have necessarily replaced the lug block.
