It's not being used, that I know. The current owner (who knows quite a bit about Parkers and damascus barrels) is afraid to shoot it (and is afraid of selling it due to perceived liability issues). I have held the gun (gazed longingly at it), and I have seen the pitting - there is quite a bit of it and some of the pits made me go "ugh." There is no way they would polish out and I doubt they could even be honed out. I even tried to figure out just how much metal could be removed before the barrels became too thin (<.18) but I haven't been able to determine the current minimum thickness.
