What a great discussion! But one quick correction of what I was saying with the 6% number. I wasn't saying that 6% of the records are missing (I am not sure what that number is but I expect it is addressed somewhere in TPS). What I was saying is that of the records known, 15,000 26" barrels out of 242,487 gun produced is 6%. And that 6% out of 100% represents something that is not common. The question is with 5-7 barrel lengths possible, is 6% unusual (do other lengths represent 6% or 20% or 40% or 60%, etc.) On the Errata notes (I have the insert and page 1043-1044 in Vol 2) where is the 20ga Damascus reference -- I have the 20ga GH Damascus "restored" PGCA 2008 auction gun and my research prior to getting it showed that the Newsletter saying there were only 2 was incorrect.
