Default I’ve got a DH Damascus
Recently I inherited a 16 gauge DH on the fabled O frame with 28 inch Damascus barrels. The old girl looks at least close to her age but works fine.
Yesterday at the local SC range I went 3 stations before missing a bird the first time I took the gun for a drive. I’m no George Digweed so the gun impressed me.

Now these discussions about how many GH grade Damascus guns lead to my obvious question: how many DH grade Damascus guns?

Many thanks for any answers.

I just found one up here in Canada. Grade 2 Damascus 20 gauge with 30" barrels on an 0 frame. Looking forward to the research letter.

I get a Research letter on every Parker I buy that has information available. Make sure you check to see if information is available before sending the request. I often get interesting information
