I just had to bring this one back to the top in case anyone is reading that is in a similar situation to me 2 years ago(was it only 2 years ago....). I am currently in the process of buying my 4th Damascus parker. I have come a long long way from when I first posted this question.

Re: the shell box warning
A.P. Curtis published the second of a two part article entitled “Advantages of Short Shotgun Chambers” in the March 1938 American Rifleman (Courtesy of Larry Brown) which dates the warning. SAAMI, assembled in serious conference on March 26, 1937, passed the following resolution: “That an appropriate warning label be placed on all boxes containing smokeless powder shells, cautioning the consumer against using them in short chambered guns and also in guns with Damascus barrels and guns not in first-class condition.” More here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...hIiY62Hx4/edit and "Damascus Mythology & Reality" in the recent Summer issue of Double Gun Journal. The Fall and Winter issues will contain a 2 part Failure Analysis and Metallurgical Study of a damascus barrel burst, which will refute pattern welded barrel...confusion.

Explanation:
I'm sure many of you are all too familiar with these two words: "Liability" "Lawyer" Please notice that I have not included the words "reality" or "truth." Enough said? |
