It was one of the last set of barrels that Dale Edmonds did before he retired. They are very nicely done. When I bought the gun the barrels were rust blued and no lamination was visible, only the notation on the top of the rib. Bruce encouraged me to buy the gun, saying it had lots of potential and "those barrels could be striking." They are very nice and make this gun one of a very few PH grade 20s with laminated barrels. I will change the furniture and this should be a very nice looking gun.

Member Legh Higgins has a PH 16 with Laminated Steel barrels but the top rib says "Damascus Steel". Your research letter might allude to the choice of Laminated for your gun. Legh's research letter states "use customer's barrels."
No explanation for the GH forend wood, the iron has the correct ser. no. And strangely the flats are stamped T for Twist. Apologies Bruce for hijacking your thread... I'm done. .
