I once bought a 1903 GH 12 gauge that had blued over Damascus barrels.
I sent the barrels to Dale Edmonds for refinishing and the pattern was really interesting however, the tubes didn't match, in fact the different ribbands didn’t even match, which made me wonder if Parker had blued them for this very reason.
Having the barrels refinished cost me more than the gun. The 30" barrels had been cut to 27" and I used it exclusively for Skeet.
