I would suspect that besides the higher price for 8 gauge Parkers back then, there was also a premium charged for Damascus over Twist. There may be something in the factory records addressing that.

Do we know the serial number?

Maybe Chuck would know...

There was nothing I could find on the auction flyer that gave any idea of serial number or the range .

I will root out my PGCA letter on my Grade 1 Damascus gun. I don't remember a surcharge for the Damascus barrels. Look in the Grades section of TPS for production figures.
