Default Another barrel for Barney

This gun has a name for a reason I will not disclose. Thanks to some trading with another PGCA member it now has an extra set of barrels! It is a BH Hammer gun with 30" Titanic steel barrels, the gun letters as such. Now it has another set of barrels 32" Titanic steel, was lucky to find them. Here are some photo's

May we presume the Titanic barrels with the wider rib are a later set? If yes, that would indicate the gun is of late manufacture and quite rare.

I want to hear about the name of the gun.

Oh by the way. THAT IS ONE HELL OF AN INCREDIBLE GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done sir.

PS: I hope the gun is not named Barney. A gun that good looking needs a girls name for sure.

The original barrels are 2 frame as are the extra set The rib on the 32" extra barrels are wider than the original. It seems in the photo that one set is bigger than the other but this is not the case. The gun is serial #91632, I had a B grade for end and sent it along with the 32" barrels to be fitted by Mr Brad Bachelder, and as usual with his work I was not disappointed,both barrels have the inscription Titanic steel, will check to see what those barrels came off of, D grade or a C grade?
