DD Damascus barrels were normally used (almost) exclusively on Grade 5 and higher Parkers. The DD designates 'Finest Damascus'. I have seen DD barrels once on a Grade 2 lifter but they were a second set of barrels added by Parker Bros. at a later date.
I have seen one set of DD barrels on a Grade 4 as well but I can't ever recall seeing them on any other guns lower than Grade 5. .

That is an extractor. It extracts or lifts the shells from the chamber. It does not eject them clear of the gun.

What your pencil is pointing to is known as an extractor, not an ejector. I do not believe there was ever a Parker hammer gun with ejectors.

Ahhh, I understand now, makes total sense. I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying!

Ejectors are two pieces, extractors one. With ejectors, if only one barrel is fired, that shell will be thrown clear of the barrel and the other shell left in the barrel. With extractors, both shells are lifted up so the owner can pull one or both out by hand.

Thanks all for the clarification; can anyone provide a ballpark on the value?
