Randy, looking at the muzzle, straight on, there is nothing to support either argument. In my opinion, the termination line is the giveaway. If you were to add a full quarter inch to the existing blank portion, it wouldn't look like any rib I've ever seen, so I would have to say it's original.

The word "Twist" would be the word used for a grade 1 (P grade) hammerless gun. That's what it is and had 25 1/2" barrels. The rib matting was the same on all grades. I think Dean just looked at the barrel pattern and identified it as Twist.

Not at all the rib matting. The Twist barrels were the give-away. .

Thanks Dean. I had to blow up the photo to see the pattern on the barrels.
