According to TPS on page 265 the year they changed from NH to PH was 1905 and they were not listed in the 1907 catalog. And then the year that this gun was made, 1917, they dropped the twist steel barrels and only offered them in Parker Steel (fluid steel) barrels after that, until they dropped the PH all together in 1927. If we knew how long the barrels were we could see, a little better, as to how rare this gun might be. 30" & 32" were the vast majority of the guns.
As the song says: You don't know what you've got TELL IT'S GONE.
