Default Getting the Band Back Together

I was moving some guns around storage/display and the hammer guns were kind of lined up. So I posed them for a quick picture.

Top to Bottom - using # grades loosely as I forget the dollar grades equivalents.

Grade 0 T/L, 12g, 1 frame, 30' Twist
Grade 2 T/L, 16g, 0 frame, 36" Damascus
Grade 3 T/L, 10g, 3 frame, 32" Damascus
Grade 4 Lifter, 12g, 2 frame, 28" Parker Laminated
Grade 4 T/L, 10g, 3 frame, 32" Bernard
Grade 6 Lifter, 10/12g, 2 frame, 30" Parker Laminated

Looks like that 12 ga Grade 4 lifter (4th from top) has the Parker Laminated barrels as well. I think Rev. Drew called it a "Toncin" damascus pattern, even though the barrel may be stamped Laminated. It is in marvelous condition. I wont even talk about the Grade 6.

Good catch! Copied and pasted without being mindful. Corrected.

Beautiful guns Dean. I'll look through the rest of them more closely when I can break away from that Grade 6 engraving. Unique to my eyes 👀. Nice!!
