Joe, Your gun 77481 is in the "Serialization Book" as a Plain Twist 12 ga. with 30" barrels and a capped pistol grip stock. It is 1 of 24 identicle guns with the serial numbers running from77449-77487.

thanks dave
does it mention grade? I wanna say from what research ive done it would be a T due to the fact thats the only 12g hammer that had twist barrels in the catalog. Does that sound about right?
Dave would you be kind enough to look up my GH sn# 85571 thank you again

Joe, Being a later hammergun there should be a grade stamp on the watertable.If not I would think an O Grade or a grade 1 gun because of the twist barrels.

Gun number 85571 is not in "The Book"...Sorry

On the hammer gun I'm buying (refer to SN in earlier post) I'm still trying to determine the grade. On the barrel it is marked with a 1, so the frame size is 1, ive got that down. On the watertable besides the Sn and Patton dates there is a C and also there is a T on one side(the T looks like it has a circle maby around it?), there is an A stamped on the other, any info is appriciated thanks
