Default Parker Barrels

I just ran across an article where the gunmakers, nearly all of them stood in front of the Congress of the United States in 1912. Parker Brothers was Represented by Walter King. The question was who made the barrels for American Shotguns , and Mr King answer,all but the barrels from Whitworth, all of the barrels are made and rough bored in Belgium. It would be interesting to know if they were the same for all grades, or if the steel for different grades was made differently, or from another firm. This included Fox L C Smith and many others! This is well beyond the damascus years! I found this interesting. Walt Snider found this, and published it!
