A damascus pattern that has never been reported on a Parker is chain damascus. Other manufacturers used it, but probably not Parker, at least none found yet. But we keep looking, and if you know of chain on a Parker, please speak up.
If I could step back to 1910 and had the money, I'd order a new C , 16ga, ask for special engraving, special wood and ask what Parker might obtain in the best Emil Bernard or other special damascus pattern, maybe from Pieper. The question is whether I would make it a hammerless or a top action hammer. But maybe a top action sidelock hammer with curved lever and lightening grooves, or maybe a lifter with all the late improvements, decisions, decisions.
I think chain is gorgeous, see if you don't agree. Here's a couple, not Parkers.
