not being familiar with the action, is this a slide & drop gun? i have an 1875 dougall lockfast....and the 1860's were transition period from lefaucheux actions to stronger locking systems. from memory, crudgington & baker grouped four or five patents together as slide & drop patents.

certainly a handsome gun.

best regards,

tom
