An approximation of the older Parkers has the Laminated barrels being relatively low in production compared to damascus or twist barrels.
From the records that we have, it appears that the production numbers are: Damascus barrels 1,384 |

And a good amount of these very early back action guns were Decarbonized steel as well.

Laminated Steel barrels were used on Deluxe back action guns. Check the 1869 catalog.Checkering was also an option on Deluxe grade back actions.

No, actually the gun you show in your pictures is not a T-Latch gun. It is a lifter with the two-piece 'plunger' or lift lever. .
