Rummaging through my 'stuff' in my PC this morning I found this, among other interesting stuff.

Titanic Steel Barrels
Announcement of Titanic Steel Barrels:
Sporting Life February 26, 1898
Parker Brothers, makers of hammer and
hammerless shotgun have issued the following notice:
“We can now supply you with a plain black
barrel that we do not hesitate to recommend
as a hard, tough and thoroughly reliable barrel
and in consequence is suitable for shooting nitro
powders.
"We unhesitatingly recommend them for trap
and pigeon guns when a party desires a barrel
similar to the Whitworth Fluid Pressed Steel.
“We have decided to name them ‘Titanic
Steel’ by which name they will be known and
stamped on the rib.
They will be made in the $100, $150 and $200
list, and will be kept up to the high standard
that has characterized our guns of these grades.
Parker Bros., Meriden, Conn.
The Dollar Grades referenced are, $100 (Grade 3 or D) - $150 (Grade 4 or C) - $200 (Grade 5 or B)
