Agreed Edgar, and 149020 isn't listed in the tables either but there is a reason, I believe in my case, for this.

In the serialization book 149020 is shown as having been made with 28" Damascus barrels, built in 1908 and it obviously sat in inventory for four years until in 1912 an order came in from a wealthy and important client for a 24" Damascus gun... so the Brothers P filled the order.
