Default What grade do I Have?

Recently aquired no. 51677 top lever fishtail. Seems to proceed no 51702 as first reported matted rib in the Parker pages. Not sure if its a 0 or 1 grade. Has a little floral engraving but has stub twist barrels. No letters or numbers on water table. Hammers dont quite match. Anybody have a hammer screw?

Tom Carter can make you a screw to fit

Submit that serial number to Josh Loewensteiner to be included in Parker Pages "Parkers Found" column.

Stub Twist makes it a Grade 0. Laminated Steel would make it a Grade 1.

Stub twist barrels are beautiful once refinished. They almost look like bernard barrels. Very nice find!

I had never noticed that pattern on Stub Twist barrels before.

Refinishing them may obscure that interesting pattern.

Mine looked like that before I had them redone. Minus that my gun is all original.

Here's another, showing the difference. The top gun is a Twist barrel and the bottom gun is a Stub Twist Barrel.
