Certainly looks to be in the better half of the Philadelphia Arms Co. guns I've seen. Appears to be an A-Grade. Those checkered stock cheeks were not "standard" on the A-Grade, and we often suspect those of covering the repair of a split to the head of the stock.
Is there a seperate forearm for the second set of barrels? How are the barrels numbered? Is there a 2 under the serial number on the second set of barrels? On the forearm?
In A.H. Fox Gun Co. guns if a gun was built from the get go as a two-barrel set, there would be a 1 under the serial number on the primary barrels and forearm and a 2 on the secondary set. If a gun went back to the factory for a second set of barrels, the new barrels and forearm would have the 2, but the original set won't have a 1.
