Austin, I have a 12ga 30" laminated steel barrels, It is the third gun on that list, I have not seen this page before, It appears that all were laminated, my thought that all were 30" just went out the window I see 32" and 10ga also. You mentioned an article you did was it for parker pages? if so when? Also was this all the info that Mark could glean from the records about Folsom and the pigeon butt plate or trap butt plate as it should be called. The time span looks as though it runs from 1881-82 to 1890m are thereabouts, I will scan some of Drews info and see what comes up. This is a most interesting gun, little known, and it sounds to me a good marketing ploy by H.D. Folsom. I am surprised that Parker Bros did not advertise this also, to promote sales, but have seen no indication of such as yet! By the way my serial is 28913, I hope others will tell me if they have one of these guns to see the serial number range etc.
