Jim, Dave Suponski wrote an article for Parker Pages on the properties of the various grades (Acme, Titanic, Parker Special, Parker, and Vulcan) fluid-pressed steels. Edgar Spencer is an athority on varius steels used in Parker’s barrels.

So my thought is , there may have been different producers of rough tubes, or certainly different runs of steel. Interesting not only did Parker do this, but all of the majors did. I suppose WW1 stopped a lot of the transfer of products from Belgium!

That’s right Jim.
