Nice gun!!

In the earlier years the entry-level hammer guns, Grade 0 and 1 were spread across a dozen Qualities -- I, K, L & M with Laminated Barrels; N, O, P & Q with Fine English Twist barrels and R, S, T & U with Twist Barrels. By the 1900 "blue ink" catalog there were only four Qualities -- R, S, T & U. R & S were 10-gauges. The 12-gauge and smaller hammer guns are listed as --

"Quality T.-- Twist Barrels, American Stock, Engraved and Checked, Pistol Grip, Hard Rubber Butt Plate.....$55.00"

"Quality U.-- Ditto, with Straight Grip.....$50.00"

By the "Pine Cone" catalog (1907-12) there are no longer separate
Qualities for 10-gauges or grip styles, just --

"Quality T.-- English twist barrels, American stock, checked and engraved, straight or pistol grip, hard rubber butt plate, 10, 12, 14, 16 or 20 gauge.....$55.00"
