At the time the gun was rebarrelled, all Titanic barrels were probably stamped with a grade 3 stamp. When the gun was originally made, Titanic Steel was used in several grades.

That’s a possibility Bill. Titanic barrels were used on Grade 3 and higher. Acme Steel barrels wouldn’t be produced until 1907 I believe. Peerless Steel I believe was used on Grade-7…

By the time the gun was rebarrelled, only the D grade guns were barrelled with Titanic steel, hence the "3" marking.

That is where the grade of the gun the barrels are intended for is stamped. Grade-2 and lower were not stamped there.

My barrel flats are stamped "Overload Proved"---I read that this stamp started to be used in 1925---so my barrels were made in 1925 or afterwards?
The rib of my gun is stamped "Meriden CT"---when was this first used rather than Meriden, Conn"? Thanks again to responders. |

They changed from CONN. to CT. U.S.A. circa 1919.
One other thing if it was rebarreled after 1910 Parker Bros. would have fitted a new bolt and the 1910-style bolt plate on the lug -- Bolt Plate 1910-style.jpg Bolting from the 1930 Parker Bros. catalog.jpeg |
