yes.. Clearly. Its a coarse croille pattern.

You showed these barrels before, and I thought but did not say, that these had a lot of brown patina on them that covered the Damascus pattern. It is either that , or they may have been blued. We have found a few instances where either Parker or somebody early on blued Damascus barrels, and like as not , those examples have a lot of Damascus segment mismatches both between barrels and along a single barrel. A person may or may not find that attractive. I have seen the segment mismatching only on G's and it is something I believe Parker people look for, I certainly do. We have scant evidence that Parker blued Damascus barrels to hide mismatching but there is some evidence.
