Grades A, B, and C were Titanic Steel when fluid steel was desired until Acme Steel was introduced. Even single trap guns were Titanic Steel until a certain period.

Thanks for adding that Bill.according to the "Parker Story" Titanic Steel barrels were introduced in 1897 followed by Acme Steel in 1907.
