Edgar - thank you for staying with me on this...yes the barrel is 62796 and the other gun parts are for a PH. Is there anyway to tell the year of manufacture for the barrels? During what period were Vulcan Steel barrels manufactured?

The VH gun, with Vulcan Steel barrels, came out just before the turn of the (20th) century, and they were made right to the end. They were, if I'm not mistaken, the first steel barrels offered. The V grade was considered an 0 grade, where the P was called grade 1.
