Sure, some guns were originally fitted with other than the standard barrels for the grade, but you know that an early G like this would have 2 blade damascus, even if its not in the Serialization Book , as this gun is not. It is a potential factory re-fit, and then you get a letter, and if the letter doesn't say anything about it, then you start looking at the very small details, and without documentation, it will be your opinion.
Its probably a great shooter, and just look at it that way.
I've seen D's with Bernard barrels, Trojans with Twist, a 16ga A Lifter with factory re-fit Whitworths, a V with Twist, a V with damascus, all documented and very interesting.
But you know that for a 86xxx sn gun, this was before V grades and Vulcan fluid steel even existed.
