This should be correct

Whitworth Compressed Fluid Steel barrels were first used on the Grade 7 "AAH Pigeon Gun" in 1894.
Titanic Steel barrels were offered for Grades 3 - 6 from 1897 until the introduction of Acme Steel for Grades 4 - 6 around 1910.
The Grade 0 VH was introduced in 1899 with Vulcan Steel, Parker Special Steel barrels appeared on the Grade 2 GH in 1908, and the Grade 1 PH & NH received Parker Steel in 1917.
The Grade 8 A1 Special introduced in 1907 had Whitworth barrels until after WWI, then Peerless Steel.

And BTW: Hunter Arms Crown steel appeared with the introduction of the Pigeon Grade in 1893, Nitro in 1895, Armour later Armor in 1898 with the 00, and Royal steel in 1901. We have barrels with the LLH mark of Laurent Lochet-Habran on all 4.



Now we just need evidence that there was a difference in any of those barrels
