The records show that Parker Bros. made only 1 Grade 1 with Laminated Steel barrels during the years they were making their own Laminated Steel barrels - 1877, 78, 79 and for a couple of years after they stopped making their own barrels.
Look on the barrel flats for a P stamped on the right barrel flat.
