Earliest Titanic barrels

[Steiner]

Help! Has anyone seen an earlier B grade gun with Titanic barrels than 85,3xx? There is one at a gun show a friend is at and I'm interested in it.

Look for that serial number in the Serialization Book. I found an entry for a real early Titanic gun in there years ago. This might be the same gun I found in MD. I'm sorry I didn't buy this important gun. I think we discussed the gun I found, on this forum.

Unfortunately it’s not in the serialization book.

I found that thread. It indicated an 87xxx gun was the earliest Titanic gun.

Then you need to buy the gun and then get a letter on it.

Louisville show?

The serial number provided me was wrong it’s a 84xxx number and was a 30” Damascus gun that was re-barreled with 30” Titanic barrels.

I don't know if 87xxx was the first of a particular grade to have Titanic barrels, but the Serialization book shows the earliest to be 86736 which was
a Grade 3 hammerless 12ga 30" with straight stock.
