I don't know whether TPS mentions this gun.

I believe Gary C. owned it for a number of years but I thought it had Damascus barrels...

It most certainly was a fluid steel gun. The barrels were not Parker Special Steel which was proper for a G grade. However, it was not so unusual for such a rare gun to be factory barreled or rebarreled with a different type of steel.
