It should be either a Quality T if it has Twist barrels a $55 gun or a Quality P if it has Fine English Twist barrels a $65 gun. Now, of course, the question remains where does Stub Twist fall in the scheme of things? A term different than used in the catalogs.

While the barrel steel determines the various grades of the early guns, the grips and gage determine the quality designation.

Where do the "STUT TWIS" barrels fall in grade or quality determination??

There was a period of time when the lowest Grade guns had plain wood, not checkered. However, by the 1882 price list, the Grade 0 guns Qualities R, S, T & U are listed as being checked.
Price List, July 1, 1882, pg 20.jpeg In the earliest catalog I have a copy of the entry-level gun is said to be "plain finished" and have "Best Gun Iron" barrels with a list price of $50. The next gun up the scale has "Decarbonized Steel Barrels" with a list price of $75. All the higher Qualities have the choice of Laminated or Damascus barrels. |
