I believe the 146 laminated steel barrel production number is from page 242 of TPS Vol. 1 of pre-1874 Parkers. That is a nice gun! I think grade wise it would have been a grade 1 equivalent.

The checkering pattern of the forend would likely indicate the dollar-quality equivalent of the Grade 2 guns.

Jay, thanks for referring me to that page. I had mistakenly assumed that some of the Laminated guns were in the first 1500 guns that are not documented. I learn something new every time I look at The Parker Story. I also learned that my little Grade 1 hammerless 20 gauge Laminated gun is a bit uncommon.
