That is a heck of a gun John. I believe the discussion in the past has been that they were more common in damascus guns than in fluid steel guns, but they were never common.
2 barrel sets.

I don't think they are that uncommon. I have one and have had several others over the years. In all honesty I don't get much use out of the second set of barrels. The afore mentioned GHE 16 I have had for over 10 years and the M/F barrels have never been on the gun. An upgraded AAHE 28 has a second set of barrels from James Purdy that are M/F and I can count the times on one hand they have been on the gun.

To answer your question, the Serialization Book has a code for "extra barrels". It is "1".

I have a near new condition original 1-1/2 frame VH12 2-bbl set, 26"/30"... both F/F of all things. I think the 3-1/2" DAH is what has kept the gun in such good condition. I like a fair bit of drop but that's a tad too much for even me. Sure is pretty though! If I had a nice D grade 2-bbl set that fit me I'd likely just get rid of everything else.
