Damascus Barrels?
I'm back to trying to find out more about my Parker. As you guys suggested, I took it to my local gun store where they're supposed to be the experts in my city. The owner of the shop showed me a book with some interesting estimates but then began to suggest that I have damascus barrels, thus making it practically worthless. I thought I had done enough research to determine they were not damascus. So, here I am again needing information. On top of my barrels it says "Twist." After comparing the serial numbers to your chart, I discovered it was made in 1891. It has a 0 frame (16 gauge), and has a P (meaning grade 1, right?). It does not have ejectors and the wood is in terrible condition with a piece of wood missing near the trigger. I am getting some quality pictures for you but am most interested (right now) about the barrels. Help!!!...please.
