Charlie, some additional info on my gun. It has the old style, spurred buttplate with the old style (flat, engraved) screws. It has the new style safety button. Capped pistol grip stock. Built on a 1 1/2 frame with 30 " barrels. As mentioned earlier, the gun has swivels (parker style). I would dearly love to see records on this gun but unfortunetly, none exist within the PGCA or Remington.

Bill, what grade damascus are your barrels? When I was looking at my gun for these posts, I noted for the first time that they are D4s. Unusual for a G.

I believe this information came from The Parker Pages, but may need to be revised
The latest damascus barrels: SN 220,657 GH D3 1927 SN 222,845 DHE D4 1927 SN 227,020 VHE D3 1928. Regarding Parker Bros. fabricated pattern welded barrels The Sportsman's Gazetteer 1878 http://books.google.com/books?id=bow...AJ&pg=PA680&dq PARKER GUNS.—From the day when the Parker gun won the First Premium at the Centennial Exhibition until now, it has held its pre-eminence among American guns. The arm is simple, durable, and effective. All have Rebounding Locks and Interchangeable Parts. Twist barrels $50 to $75. Damascus $75 to $300. This is the only firm which manufactures their own barrels. The ‘PB’ proof mark has been found on Decarbonized, Laminated Steel, and Twist barrels in the SN 950-4650 range; much earlier than the 1877-1880 time period in which Parker offered “figured barrels”.

Thanks Drew.
I see a reference in your hyperlink that is somewhat curious... "Losey & Lull of Mott's Corners, NY", as gunmakers, and wonder if our own Rick Losey of New York is descended of the referenced Losey. .

The 1918 20ga GH I gave my daughter has "D4" on the barrel flats. I suppose they were using up stock. Great Damascus pattern though.
