What was lst year for a ph twist barrels?
 

When did they stop using twist barrels? 1917,would that be a special order?

Damascus barrels were used well into the 20's. I doubt Twist barrels would be special order in 1917.

Wasn’t “Parker Steel” available on the PH starting in the early 20’s?.. Not sure if Twist was available concurrently.

He called it a special order and am trying to figure out what's special

"He"?

Who is "He"?

Would a 1 frame 12 be special ordered?

No, a 1-frame 12 gauge would not have been a special order.... Let me qualify that by saying that there was a period in which a 1-frame 12 was nothing more than a "light twelve". It would have been an anomaly during the Remington years however. A light twelve in those days would have been a 1 1/2 frame or a 1/2 frame.

What is the serial,number of the gun in question - or at least the year of manufacture?

Barnett said its a 1917

A light 12 is what I'm looking for. Around 7 lbs.

A 1917 PH with Twist Steel barrels would be nothing unusual. It would be Parker Brothers using up leftover Twist Steel barrels from their inventory.

I have a 1916 ph with twist. I'm trying to determine why he calls it a special order. He stated Damascus in 1917. It's not Damascus but twist and i don't think that's tbe reason it's special
