That’s very interesting. I’ve never seen documentation of it, can someone post a research letter documenting the request?

Here's a PGCA letter for a VH-12 that left the factory with Vulcan steel barrels & was returned to have a set of Damascus barrels fitted to it. I own the gun and it is still wearing the factory fit Damascus barrels.

To answer your question. No, it was not common . It would be quite rare to find any.

This speaks to what shooters thought of Damascus barrels in the day. Very interesting Parker history.

second set of barrels ordered with Damascus
Well, It was done by Parker, I had a gun that was such and gave it to my son, he still has it, this one is not Damascus but twist, Very interesting to read what was done when the gun was sent back four months later, As the letter says it was a VH Hammerless 16 gauge with 30 inch barrels and it was a 1-1/2 frame which was not in the letter but stamped on the barrel lug. You talking about a swamped barrel the 20 ga set was! to accommodate the frame size, also the barrels were just cut off no line at the end of the matting sorry I do not have photos of the gun, maybe I can get my son to take some. A very interesting piece! Gary
