PARKER BHE ENGRAVING PATTERNS

[Dean Romig]

Interesting that the barrels are stamped for a Grade-3 but the water table is stamped Grade-5.

What is the history on the barrels? And was the gun originally produced with Damascus barrels?.....Nope, it's a Ti5 gun... Hmmm...

Beautiful BHE in any case!!

The barrels don't have a serial number. However, the splinter forend is numbered to the receiver.

Sorry, the barrels are indeed serial numbered to the action. Had to take a second look at the barrels.

At the time the gun was rebarrelled, all Titanic barrels were probably stamped with a grade 3 stamp. When the gun was originally made, Titanic Steel was used in several grades.

The factory letter doesn't mention whether the barrels are steel or damascus. However, the letter does say that it was ordered with 2 3/4" chambers. The gun was bought at auction a few years ago so there is a gap of 100+ years of unknown history.
