Roy and Steve these are interesting guns with workmanship as good as one could find , I am sure. Mine is number 5750, No. 2 of at least a pair, probably. The reciever flats are marked Powell's over 1710 over Patent. "ss" is under the word Patent, but I am not sure it is part of the patent marking. As I remember, 1710 was a use number. It is also marked Powell's Patent on the top lever. I assume the 1710 may be for the Load Indicators, but my memory is not clear on that. It would be fun to find No. 1 of the pair [?].

The picture on 93 of Douglas Tate's book is for sure this type of gun. Glad Lagopus brought up these guns. Roy or Steve, do you know the contact info for the holder of the Records, now ?
