Gary, to me, a "P" grade equates to a quality 1. Therefore , PT equals Grade 1 with twist steel barrels. Top lever hammergun with dolls head extension. 20 gauge with 28" barrels and capped pg. very rare, possibly the only one made and considering the late serial number, a special ordered gun. Just my humble opinion. Jim

Earlier Grade-1 T/A check-hook hammer guns were made with Laminated Steel barrels and Grade-0 T/A check-hook hammer guns were made with Twist Steel barrels. That may be where the confusion in printed literature lies for this particular gun.
It is obviously a Grade-1 gun by the P stamped on the water table. Laminated Steel barrels had generally been phased out nearly two decades earlier, save for a few sets of barrels remaining in the back of the bin in Meriden that were used on very rare occasions until they were gone. .

I think it is a great late hammer gun that anyone would be proud to have in their gun room.

Gary, letters that use the order book for research only have the price of the gun to determine grade. Grade is very seldom mentioned in the order books. Often, it is a guessing game for Chuck.
