It arrived today and at first look it is perhaps a little better than pictures would have shown, although right side stock had a repair I did not see pictured. Taking to a smith next week for checking out. A new wrinkle: this thing is HEAVY. Barrel heavy to be specific, and compared to my only other English box lock, night and day difference. Barrels appear to me to be thick as well compared to my other one. Have a serial number on both barrels and guard: 16317, but no clue whose number it is.
