Last hammer

[Mark Conrad]

I remember this order of hammer guns that were shipped to Japan. Austin and I had a chat about them. As I recall, they used high grade barrels (Bernard and Damascus) but the price would reflect 0 or 1 grade quality. I think PB was just getting rid of barrels and actions that were laying around. They were probably used against us in WW2.

I agree with Destry and Mark. On a slow week, PB employees would get together a batch of parts and turn out a few guns. A quantity of NH and PH Grade Twist barrel ten and twelve gauges were put together very late and sold to volume dealers for as little as $19.00.
