This price list says Eight bores made to special order and to correspond to any of the grades at $35 above the price for ten bores. This indicates that 8 gauges could be E, G, N or P or any of the letter grades and that they were special order only. This is only an observation and I am no expert by a long shot.
My project 8 gauge was ordered by E. T. Allen who was a semi famous knife maker and who ran a sporting goods (or hardware) shop in San Francisco. I would love to find out if he ordered it for himself or for a customer, but this may really remain a mystery.
