With apologies in advance to John for continuing the thread drift . . . may I help close the loop on the above question.
As reported by others, Dayton Gun Headquarters special ordered the Model 14-2 with an extra heavy 4 "bull" barrel as shown by Engine49guy in the middle of his beautiful trio. There were also other production runs of the 4" Model 14 that came with a factory cut conventional Model 14 barrel.
Here is a comparison picture . . . the Dayton 14-2 is on the right and the 14-3 is on the left.
The smooth top (but thinner) barrel rib and extra thick-walled barrel are unique to the Dayton Model 14-2s.
