Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

This vintage English 10 gauge SxS is clearly marked “Laminated Steel”, though it’s obviously a Damascus “Crolle” pattern. Permission was gladly granted for my use of the photographs. There is certainly enough documentation of various price lists differentiating between the many varieties of composite barrels. Is it possible that back then Damascus & Laminated barrels were considered the same? It seems they were by William Goodyer.
Interesting for sure.

Handsome gun!
My old WW Greener has such a faint pattern that its hard to tell if it is twist or laminate, I need to get it refinished.
