Seems that I may have fallen in it and come up smelling good.
The gun was turned down, as a wall hanger, by a friend, and I offered to buy it. It seemed to me to be unusual and worth the outlay.
The stock head has some internal cracks and Steve will repair them. The nipples are not right and they will also be replaced as will the firing pins.
The gun locks up like a vice, solidly on face and the lever at center. Best of all is that the barrels are great and ring like a chime.
It has the original butt plate. There is even a tiny bit of color if you look for it.
I am a happy camper to have it and to know what it is.
Thanks, friends.
Best,
John
