LD1, Thanks for the reply. This is not a rifle,but a shotgun. Made in 1877,according to the Henry book at Dickson's. Nothing unusual about the gun other than these #'s. Hammers,damascus barrels,bar action. The gun was originally non-rebounding, converted by an agent of Stantons,and bears the use stamp on the inside of the lockplate. The description in the receipt book states a "patent 146".I beleive this to be a use,not a patent number,and may refer to a Hodges patent concerning the extractor. That's about all I have so far.
So what could these #'s mean?
