Bob, Mine is the one with 26" Laminated Steel barrels.
I wrote about it in Parker Pages in "Shot to Destruction."

Thanks guys
The Parker letter has it as an L grade is that the same as 1 grade ?
The gun was ordered by Huntington Hopkins & Co from Sacramento CA on may 23 1887 and shipped on August 11 1887.
The barrels are 28 inches not sure of the constriction I think it was IM but I will have to check it and do some patterning.
2-1/2 chambers.
It also has the fishtail level and the gun does not open easily with the hammer cocked as mentioned in one of Dean other posts. I did not want to force it.
The gun I think is about 7 - 1/2 pounds but need to check it. It seems to be slightly barrel heavy so I’m looking forward to shooting it on some sporting clays.
Best part of all the dimensions are about 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 and fits me well.
