No idea Kirk. The seller had no history on the gun. Based on the book, it came from Parker originally with damascus barrels. Somewhere along the line, the damascus barrels were separated from the gun and Parker reproduction barrels put on. They fit but we're slightly off face and that is what I had Brad Batchelder take care of. As far as I'm concerned. It's like having a new gun. Will be good on the skeet field And on woodcock when I go back to Minnesota next season.

I'm able to sit up and take nourishment. G's were known to have pretty nice wood.

Sounds like the best of both worlds, I almost never hunt with my GH 30" Damascus, in fact I've hunted with nothing but my reproduction so far this season.

Any pics? In my experience GH's do tend to have better then average wood.
