Here is a set of Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels where the marriage between two segments is clearly visible. Whem Parker Brothers made their own barrels they were made in roughly 15”-16” segments and joined together in a hammer-welding process.

Sometimes I’m mesmerized by the beauty of these barrels and the thought of the crafting of them.
