I figured that might be the reason. I asked the seller about them and after two replies he said there was indeed some corrosion in the bottom of those pits.

Uh, I might have looked past the pits. I bet they didn't look like much in person. Maybe the new owner could comment.

Bill: if you download the pic that shows the pits one of them looks pretty deep. I'd guess it goes 1/3 of the way through the bbl, and there's a group of about 6 smaller pits nearby. He said you could see them from inside the bbl also. Must have fallen on a rock or something. Realistically, even the deepest one would likely never be an issue as is and I'd guess that it could be micro welded up if desired and would barely show. Sure is a nice gun and that seems a reasonable price. Puglisi had a very similar gun at the RGS hunt two yrs ago that had been totally restored and had a nasty and very poorly repaired bulge in one barrel and they wanted $7400 for it.

Dave, Parker collectors have long known that TPS is sorely in error about the number of 20 G damascus guns. The book says three but there are many, many of them. The true number is probably in keeping and proportional to the number of damascus G 12's, a lot. I mean any damascus 20 is something you don't see every day and likely interesting to many collectors, but don't think that G 20's are rare. |

On the same line as the number of Damascus barrels on 20 gauges, were many Twist barrel 20 were made?
