Gh or Dh

[Bill Murphy]

I hope that we have determined that the gun in question, Fred's GH, is a GH or Grade 2, and the book agrees with the grade of the gun, D2, which is a Damascus, Grade 2.

Couldn't be righter. D2 in the gun listings of the Serialization and Identification Book is explained on p.62 of the same book in the explanation of the grade codes as a "Grade 2 guns ( grades E,F,G and H) with damascus steel barrels".

If there is confusion about the meanings of terminology in the Serialization Book, the same book contains pages of explanation in the front. Charlie Price also included many photographs of barrel flats and frame water table markings with explanation.
