The reason I posted this gun is to try to find out the grade, The serial book says 0 grade, the gun is stamped P for a grade one, the barrels are twist and the barrel flats are so marked, I have sent for a letter, we shall see, Gary

Come on Gary - give it up, what is it? A lightened 1-frame 12 gauge?

No matter how you slice it Gary, a P is a grade-1. But Twist Steel barrels were used on both grade-0 and hammer less grade-1 guns.

I have a 16 hammer gun and I don't know for sure if its a grade 1 or an 0 grade either. It looks a lot like this less the condition but in it's defense it has 32 inch barrels.
So Gary is it a 16ga or a 20ga????????

Marked "P" is scarce in hammer guns, but it has been seen. Austin's #3 frame 12 gauge lifter is marked "P". These are grade 1 guns. Gary's gun is late for a small gauge top lever gun, or any top lever gun, but not as late as my Grade 2 top lever 16 #172,662, the last one. Odd that some of these late smallbore hammer guns have such heavy barrels.

Not really, when you think about the fact that Parker, like most of the major pipe organ manufacturers of the day, always opted to use up "existing stocks" of tubes rather than turn new ones.

It is a twenty gauge, top lever, Kevin I think you hit the nail on the head with reference to barrels and use of existing stock! Gary
