Forgive my late response to your post (in early April), but I got a chance to review Mr. Stubbendieck's book for your serial number (on your Quality 1 gun), 35036 should be an 1892 gun, which makes sense as Syracuse evidently never offered a Quality 1 option. Your gun was likely the last of the transitional Quality 1s.
FWIW: "Bernard" has always been the description I heard used for this type of barrel steel we are now referring to as "laminated".
