High Standard barrel with "HS" on right lug, "P" on left lug.

CONDITION: Overall very good+, retaining virtually all of the original parkerization with some handling marks from handling and storage and some minor silvering to high edges. Some oil staining that does not detract. Grips are excellent free of cracks. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent with strong rifling and some minor frosting at the edges of the grooves.
