Jeff, do you have any knowledge of whether these "some, but not many" were originally made with fluid steel barrels or if they had been sent back to have their composite barrels replaced with fluid steel?

The mystery may be partially solved by looking up a lower grade gun in question in the Serialization Book. I have seen such guns, but have no idea whether they were made that way. Now that gunsmiths know how to install hammerless barrels on hammer gun frames, more guns of this type may appear on the horizon. And, of course, some were sent back to the factory for this installation.

The PGCA had one. It has Vulcan Steel barrels.

I currently have in my shop, for mild restoration work, a Titanic Barreled Top Action Grade 3. It is in the 106,000 range and dates to 1900 manufacture.
It is interesting since the Serialization book lists it as a Hammerless gun, which must have just been an error and was gleaned over in the compiling of that book. Since the gun does letter as a hammer gun. It is a 30" 12g. Top Action Grade 3 and it was ordered with NO rib extension. This gun MAY or MAY NOT have been factored into the summary of 10 hammer guns with Titanic steel barrels. My guess would be NOT since it is not marked as so in the book.

106000 that has to be one of the last 10 or so D grade top lever hammer guns. Very interesting gun steel barrels and no rib extension.

There was a killer original condition D grade that surfaced a few years ago. It ended up getting restocked and refinished for some bizarre reason.

Does the PGCA's database have the search capability of searching for top lever/lifter hammer guns built with different types of fluid steel barrels? Since the database includes many more guns than the Parker Story lists, it would be very interesting to see how many more fluid steel hammer guns are listed. Maybe an article for the Parker Pages?
