Serial # help please
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we sure did!
A friend who is just being bitten by the SXS bug recently picked up a gun from one of the online auction houses. Damascus barreled Parker hammer-gun SN 44844. Wood and barrels appear to have been refinished. Could anyone with a book handy tell us the original length of the barrels? At present they are approx 28 1/4" long. Barrel flats show #2, and a large 4 beside a small 2. (unstruck barrel weight?) also the letter D (Damascus?)
My friend lives in Annapolis, MD. Can someone recommend a person or trusted Smith in that neighborhood that might be able to check wall thickness. He bought the gun strictly as a shooter, and wants to make sure that they've not been polished or honed too much to safely shoot.
Thanks all,
John
