WOW - a PH with Laminated Steel barrels! There weren’t many of those made. The vast majority of composite barreled PH guns had Twist Steel barrels.
Legh Higgins has one and the research letter shows the order entry “Use cust. barrels.” So apparently the customer provided the barrels from possibly a Grade 1 hammer gun... I know, that’s just speculation but there were a lot of very late 1880’s - early 1890’s of these guns made with Laminated Steel barrels.
