Ted:
Very good question!! I now discover that I have no idea how I came up with 1960s manufacture. Possibly a fifth party assumption based on a fourth party rumour of a third party conjecture. Of course I would very much like to know how old it is. Serial range is 81XXX if that helps; poudre T and the triple palms proof which is something like 1200+BAR. Amazing to me given the weight of the barrels! I love the swamped rib ramped up at the breech; I like what the comb does; I like the long stock. Been some talk about the guns of Indianola MISS on another thread. I think this one was a sleeper for the sub-1K pricetag and I don't care a fig who's laughing or blowing a chauvinist gasket. Hallowell&Co. has one right now. I don't care for the engraving and there's some light rust on the breechblock.
