Are 'Laminated Steel' barrels...

... relatively uncommon on early Parkers? My 10 gauge Lifter of 1879 vintage has them. Didn't some catalogs list only 10 gauge guns with Laminated Steel barrels?

I don't think they're especially rare - I've got three sixteens with Laminated Steel barrels.
They're less common than Twist Steel barrels but I believe they're more common than Stub Twist. I say this without consulting the "Writ of Common Wisdom" (TPS) so I may be proven to be wrong.

Three sixteens with Laminated Steel barrels? Wow. Anyone have a twenty? I have a wonderful little PH 20 with 28" Laminated Steel barrels. It is the first one I had seen. You can't trust the stock books. My gun letters as Twist.
