My figure of 5 with Titanic Steel barrels came from the tables at the end of Grade 5 guns n the Grades section of Vol. 1 of TPS.

We know and have evidence of the fact that because of missing books these figures are not absolute... so there may be more of just about anything...

Heading for the SB. Can Terry let us know where his figures come from?

Lots of various sources, but all serial numbers have been verified by the PGCA Research Chairman.

Woops. This gun has slipped up to $9825 with just two hours to go.

I don't know if we're all on the same page here.

The subject gun is a Top Action Titanic Steel barreled gun with a barrel length of 32 inches, apparently one of only two known to have been made in that particular configuration and is one of only possibly 6 Grade 5 Top Action Titanic Steel barreled known to have been made.

I think that Dean has the same question that I do. Terry is a more than good friend and I trust his research, if I know what it is.

I have verified that there are at least 8 Grade 5 Titanic Steel barreled exposed hammer guns.
Six of them have verified 32" barrels, according to the Parker records.

Terry, will you be revealing your source for this data in an upcoming Parker Pages article?

And, it's a helluva lot cheaper (and cooler) than a similar configuration in a Purdey!
