I am partial to the grade 2 as well although there is something to be said for the simplicity of the lower grades

I received my research letter this week. It was purchased by George F. Foote of Greenwich CT on February 5, 1894 with 30 inch twist steel barrels. In July 1894 it was returned to Parker by Hartley & Graham of NYC to fit a new pair of 26 inch Twist steel barrels bored cylinder and make as light as can . Great to know it's origin. Wishful thinking but it would be nice to locate those 30 inch barrels someday.
Thank you Chuck.

Al, If you do not mind what is the ser # of your gun, I bought a set of 30" twist barrels at a show years ago and you never know, I doubt they are for your gun but! we can check and see. I found a set some years ago that fit a gun that Bill Murphy had Gary

I just received the barrels back from Dale Edmonds. Thought I'd share.

Dean, a little over a year, but as you can see it's well worth the wait.

I prefer the twist barrels over the steel. They look better to me and sometimes there is some very nice wood in the older PH guns. 26 inch barrels do not work for me, but that is me If i chased ruffed grouse in the coverts of New England two or three days a week 26 inch barrel might work.

Al, Barrels are lovely. I have a PH 12 with 26" twist barrels which I didn't realize were so unusual. Mine was made in 1902.
