Mark Conrad's Beautiful Grade 5 Hammer gun was a huge coincidence for me, in that a friend just purchased a Grade 5 Hammer gun receiver, with locks.

In looking up the serial number, 108658, stamped on the water table of the receiver, more mystery surfaced. It is listed in the "Book" as 'T5 H 0 C 12 30'
Dean pointed out a comment in the Serialization book (actually on Page 64)
" Probably a keystroke error, possibly a grade 3 gun with Titanic Steel barrels."
Not to mention it is also listed as 'H', meaning hammerless.
This entry, in itself seems to be a 'keystroke error' as it is listed as "T5", and not 'T3'.
The emailed images are not clear at all, but I got to examine the receiver in the flesh, and it is clearly marked with a '5' on the watertable, clearly stamped 108658, and one look at the teardrops on the bolsters, and the hammers, and the engraving, proves it to be a Grade 5.
Now the unanswered question is, were there in fact 5 of these guns, as indicated in TPS, or is this a sixth?
