oh ya, they are definitely Damascus Barrels. look just like that, engraving and all. was a pretty nice shotgun in its day.One thig to check on the Parkhurst shotgun is the barrel construction. Many of them are old enough to have damascus barrels and *might* not be safe with modern shells. Take a look at the barrel, does it look like this?

Interesting, indeed.I just bought an 1897 SxS 12ga shotgun from a Gun auction house and they sent it straight to me, the other 2 I bought (1902 and 1920) had to go through an FFL......I truly think people are mistaken about the fact that it still uses "modern" ammo its subject to NFA laws. I could be wrong and the auction house that sells thousands of guns each year could be wrong.......
Can't use modern ammo in spun/damascus barrels anyway, you'll unravel them real quickInteresting, indeed.
The except I clipped above came straight from the ATF website. Seems pretty clear to me, but I'm no lawyer.

Thanks for the info. Nice to know.
Not necessarily true. The quality of construction and the possibility of corrosion in the "threads" of a Damascus barrel are what really matters. A well made gun that's been maintained properly very well may be safe to shoot with target loads. Am I saying this gun is one of those? Nope.

I'm just going by what gunsmiths and old farts tell me. I personally wouldn't take that chance..... would you?Thanks for the info. Nice to know.

I'd be interested in this broken rifle, savage 99 30-30 mfg 1913. PM me if you'd likeI have these old rifles and a shotgun that my father-in-law left when he passed, I haven't bought or sold a gun since the rules changed and all firearms have to go through an FFL transfer. I have had these about 20 years just hanging out in the closet and have decided to peddle them. my question is, what exactly am I required to do to move these guns legally? how much information am I required to give to sell them? thanks in advance for whatever help you can offer.
