Thanks a lot! Since there is nothing on a Dewson, is there anything on a Dawson? I"ll tell my caregiver she needs new glasses. Can you use a better pic of the underbarrels to help age this piece?
Coincidentally, the old railroad engineer I boutht it from bought it from a gunsmith in Dawson, ND. The town has a rich history as the destination of wealthy railroad magnates that hunted the nearby lakes for waterfowl. They began arriving in Dawson about the time the town was founded. Now I am wondering whether some of these names we see on lockplates were those of owners not makers.
