Francis, the Cody letters are kind of vague in their description. The Research Letters from L.C.S.C.A. give all that was written in the ledger.

As to your Pigeon grade or any other gun that has an extra set of barrels ordered from the factory, the price of the barrels was half the price of the gun for the same type of steel. Many times you will hear of extra barrels that are of a lower grade of steel and so they cost less.
