What is it?

[C.O.B.]

I have a 16 hammer gun and I don't know for sure if its a grade 1 or an 0 grade either. It looks a lot like this less the condition but in it's defense it has 32 inch barrels.

So Gary is it a 16ga or a 20ga????????

Marked "P" is scarce in hammer guns, but it has been seen. Austin's #3 frame 12 gauge lifter is marked "P". These are grade 1 guns. Gary's gun is late for a small gauge top lever gun, or any top lever gun, but not as late as my Grade 2 top lever 16 #172,662, the last one. Odd that some of these late smallbore hammer guns have such heavy barrels.
