My 1879 Lifter in 10 gauge has barrels marked 'Laminated Steel'. The un-struck weight is '6 pounds 3 ounces'. There is a 'P' stamped on the right barrel flat, just to the left of this weight. The left barrel flat does not have the patent date stamped on it. A '3' is stamped on the barrel lug. The serial number is 15728. The stock has a straight grip, which I have been told is correct (according to the 'book'). On each barrel, just forward of the flats, is a 'P' inside of a diamond.
