While doing a letter, I found an order from 1880 that had 2 guns listed as Stub Twist for barrel steel. Can't say I've ever found another order that listed Stub Twist before. They were 12ga. guns, one with PG, the other straight grip, price was $65 and $60. Looking at the price list to determine grade, it would be the 3rd listing up from the bottom which says "Fine English Twist, no engraving or checkering. Went to the stock book and both guns are listed as T0. Looks like Parker considered any twist as Fine English Twist, except for Plain Twist.

One other thing, I thought Parker used Belgium sourced barrels so why would the call it English Twist?
