He sometimes sees questions asking if damascus guns are as valuable as fluid steel, or if all damascus guns are for black powder or how late Parker made guns with damascus barrels. He thought this post might be useful, and if not, asked me to delete it.

That is a really beautiful gun Bruce. As I look at the pictures though, I have to ask if the stock and the barrels are original to the gun? As I look at the pictures it appears the fit on the stock and forend are not really up to specs for a Parker of this grade and I can't make out the Parker borders on the checkering which is so hard to duplicate on refinished or restocked guns. I think the gun is in fabulous condition and the beavertail, damascus, ejector combination is super, but is it real and original? Does your buddy believe it is? It would be a great gun to take to a Parker gathering to let others view in person. I would really like to see this gun in person or some additional photos. Do you have any additional pictures that you can post? Thank you again for pictures, super gun in incredible condition.
