The barrels were likely replaced at some point. Original barrels for a PH were Twist Steel and Parker Steel. The Vulcan Steel barrels were original to the VH guns and were used by Parker Bros as the cheapest option for barrel replacement on just about any grade above the Trojan.

If the barrels were replaced, would they still have the matching serial number? Which they do. Also, the Blue Book I have indicates "most had twist barrels, prices here are for fluid steel barrels only." Does this "fluid barrels" refer to Parker Steel, not Vulcan Steel?

Serial number? It may help to identify the original barrel steel.
