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.
