Interestingly, 149020 is listed in that table as having 28" Titanic barrels, yet letters with its current 24" Damascus barrels.
Compiling such lists of data with cross checking several sources of information prior to publishing the results is no easy task and if there seem to be a couple of errors I think we can rest assured The Parker Story is FAR more accurate than the Serialization book. .

As we know, the tables and stats are based on surviving factory records. If records are missing, then those guns cannot be factored into the mix. I think there is some sort of extrapolation of data on the grade tables to account for missing records, but who knows how that was done and it cannot be taken as law. It just gets one close on some points.

Bill Mullins could certainly answer these questions as best they can be answered.

Brian, I agree. But what lacks explanation is how a gun can be listed on the short barrel list, as being 28ga. having had 24" barrels (two consecutive guns, 113002 & 113003) and not being on the master list of 28ga. guns

Why not go right to the source and shoot a PM to Bill?

Easy. Because, even though you hold the gun in your hands, it simply does not exist. The sooner you accept it, the better off you will be.

Bill Mullins provided the authors method of extrapolation of numbers in TPS . I posted a photo of that text here before.
As for Mr Dudley’s question of who knows how the extrapolation was done, Bill knows and explained it . |
