Default Question about my G grade

I acquired a G grade Parker a couple of years ago in a Horse Trade. I had wanted a vintage side by side for some time and grabbed this opportunity ( i now have three). The serial number on my G Grade is 91493 and was made in 1899. It also has fluid steel barrels with all serial numbers matching on the barrels, for end and stock. There is a repair code stamped on the barrels of ph3. Which I understand this to mean it went back to the Parker / Remington factory in 1936 or 37. Now, here is my question . I think this gun originally was fitted with Damascus barrels and later in 36 or 37 was refitted with fluid steel. If this is correct would the factory have kept the original barrels or as I think a former owner sold them. If anyone has a guess please chime in . Or better yet, if someone has a set of Damascus barrels with the above serial number please let me know. Thanks Jack

Hmm..I would think that 1936/1937 they would still be using barrels made at the Meriden works. Never say never....

I agree Dave, never say never. Pictures would definitely help out. Maybe the rib was replaced at one time or maybe its a Belgian replacement set.

Most people can't figure out how to post pictures, if you would re take the pictures using the micro setting usually a little flower on most cameras for close up pictures, they could be able to tell you more.

Well for some reason I am now unable to upload pic's . I think Pat's advice on how to use the macro worked . I am just unable to upload for some reason. Maybe someone has advice on what is going wrong ? I have had no problems until just now .

Just create a free account on www.photobucket.com and then upload your pics to there. Once they're on that hosting site put your pointer on the picture and you'll get a drop down with several choices of picture code to choose from. Cut and paste the one that says IMG directly onto your posting and when you put it up the picture will appear. You don't have to worry about the hosting on this site and it being too big or anything like that. It sounds complicated but it's not, I'm not very computer savy and I figured it out in about 45 minutes.

Jack: I have found that when the macro setting is used the pictures will be too large to post. You may have to reduce them then post.
