Okay, that changes things a bit. The sentence about “the 4” barrel must be a replacement” eliminates a typo on Roy’s or Don’s part as the explanation. Whatever document, likely the invoice, they were looking at must have indeed said 2”.
Given its appearance, I’m still not convinced this gun isn’t an original 4”, though.
Since it has the under-barrel P proof, part of the triple military proof at that time, the barrel would indeed, as Alk8944 suggested, have had to be changed before final proofing at the factory, which makes no sense since shipping records weren’t created before the guns were even finished, I would think.
