Greg, sure it has barrels and I'm sure Gary will post them when he gets around to it. Damascus of course, as was described to me.
Edgar, looking at catalogs, the earliest I have is about from the mid 1870's and lists guns by dollar, $200 being the highest then. The next I have is the 1882 catalog which lists both top action and lifter action and calls them by letter grade, A being highest. So sometime in the late 1870's to 1882, the nomenclature changed. But I suppose its simplest to call all the top grades then A's and everyone likely knows what that means.
