What was lst year for a ph twist barrels?

[Kurt Sauers]

When did they stop using twist barrels? 1917,would that be a special order?

[Mills]

Damascus barrels were used well into the 20's. I doubt Twist barrels would be special order in 1917.

[Kirk Potter]

Wasn’t “Parker Steel” available on the PH starting in the early 20’s?.. Not sure if Twist was available concurrently.

[Kurt Sauers]

He called it a special order and am trying to figure out what's special

[Dean Romig]

"He"?

Who is "He"?

[Kurt Sauers]

Barnett

Would a 1 frame 12 be special ordered?

[Dean Romig]

No, a 1-frame 12 gauge would not have been a special order.... Let me qualify that by saying that there was a period in which a 1-frame 12 was nothing more than a "light twelve". It would have been an anomaly during the Remington years however. A light twelve in those days would have been a 1 1/2 frame or a 1/2 frame.

What is the serial,number of the gun in question - or at least the year of manufacture?

Barnett said its a 1917

A light 12 is what I'm looking for. Around 7 lbs.

[Bill Murphy]

A 1917 PH with Twist Steel barrels would be nothing unusual. It would be Parker Brothers using up leftover Twist Steel barrels from their inventory.

[Kurt Sauers]

I have a 1916 ph with twist. I'm trying to determine why he calls it a special order. He stated Damascus in 1917. It's not Damascus but twist and i don't think that's tbe reason it's special
