when were the single barrel traps made?

If the grade is not stamped on the water table, you could post pictures of the gun and we would tell you what your grade is. The "book" says your gun is a 34" barrel gun. The barrel is likely to be Titanic Steel, identified by a T on the bottom of the barrel flat. It is also likely to be a C Grade.

It's likely to be Acme steel on an SC...

SCs in the serial number range mentioned that I have examined, including my own, are Titanic Steel. I don't know whether Acme Steel was used on early guns, but I haven't seen one.

You are probably right Bill, one of the 5 SCs I've had was an early one with the access screw and it had 34" Acme barrels...

Bill and Don ....My first SC serial 180115 was a 32" straight grip gun with the access hole. It had Titanic barrels.

Also I checked the Serialization book last night and there were guns listed in the the 158,s. Does this make any sense? Seems way early to me too.
