Thanks for posting that Harold.
I have recorded that the latest Parker damascus barrels are SN 220,657 GH D3 1927, SN 222,845 DHE D4 1927, SN 227,020 VHE D3 1928, and now SN 230234 DH c. 1928 or 1929 (no record available). Dean might have a correction.

I had a CHE double trap gun 230760 made in 1928 and no information was available due to missing books.
Unfortunately it happens, as others can testify. I believe “Harold’s” gun is a very high condition all original DH. .

Dean, several people saw it at Rock Mtn this weekend and felt that it may even be unfired.

Harold: would it be possible to take a full size high resolution image of an about 10" section of barrel, where the contrast is most apparent. Outside with partial sunlight works well, with the barrel raised a few inches above a dark grey solid surface.
It would be very valuable to have evidence of what close to original Parker (likely D4) colors look like. Or send the image to me as an attachment (not embedded in the email) to drewhausemd@yahoo.com and thanks! This is about the best Parker DAM4 I have. I failed to document who sent the image however

Thank you Harold. The barrels are 3 Iron DAM3.
Interesting that they have darkened slightly forward of the forend 2 'zipper' rod to rod welds between 2 straight ribband end welds. The ribband end weld scrolls are slightly smaller, with "jumping" the ribband edges OVERLOAD PROVED?!? What were they thinking??
