The 32" #2 frame 20 gauge barrels on my VH are marked 4-15. The barrels on my #3 frame 16 are marked 4-13, but then they are only 28" long.

Is that one being used regularly or is it just sitting looking pretty in somebody’s collection? .

Ed, the 3 in the bottom right flat is for grade 3 (DH) guns. The D4 stands for 4 blade Damascus. Teriffic gun!

It's not being used, that I know. The current owner (who knows quite a bit about Parkers and damascus barrels) is afraid to shoot it (and is afraid of selling it due to perceived liability issues). I have held the gun (gazed longingly at it), and I have seen the pitting - there is quite a bit of it and some of the pits made me go "ugh." There is no way they would polish out and I doubt they could even be honed out. I even tried to figure out just how much metal could be removed before the barrels became too thin (<.18) but I haven't been able to determine the current minimum thickness.
