According to The Parker Story they were marked on the water table "12 SS" as part of the serial number. I have a friend that has a SSS and that's how his is marked. What I find confusing is that the example shown and identified in TPS as a B-Grade SSS doesn't have the markings as they describe.

I didn't know they made any B grade Steel Shot Specials. I thought it was a run of 275 (?) DHEs sold by Dunn's (Jaeger's). I bought one years ago (sold it) and I am pretty sure it had SS before the serial number on the trigger guard tang, unlike the one CSMC is selling. It definitely had SS before the number on the water table. I think CSMC is misrepresenting this gun. It wouldn't surprise me !

Gents,
I will check my DHE SSS later today and get back to you on the topics discussed.

Is it my imagination, or did the price go down $1,500 since yesterday ? I thought they were asking $6,250. I emailed them asking if the serial # started with SS, but of course got no reply....
I just checked their website, and they have both prices listed ($4,750 and $6,250). I guess you're supposed to pick the one you like best.
