I would really appreciate that. If you would please, serial number, gauge, barrel length and any interesting features it might have. Thanks. David, PM sent.

Out of the hospital is better than in it.
Welcome back.
Best,

Mike: I'd heard you were laid-up a bit over on the 16-gauge site.
So glad to see your big 10 again ( Quality 2?) and hear that you are back at home.
Is Whittington still a possibility?

You will be missed Sir. Next year, right?
Could you possibly post a picture of the bottom of the action on your 10? Thanks!
Get better.

Mike, so glad you are feeling better and are now at home.
I have your gun in my records, don't know where I got it from but early on I didn't put much information down, now I do. It states that there was a hammer gun barrel fit to it serial number 10827 ( a very early hammer gun from 1884)
LLoyd, it is going to look like any other Syracuse L.C. Smith made from 1886-and part of 1889, it will have the round breech balls, large convex ribs, lock plate connecting screw with a rounded head and a squared lug going through the receiver.
I explained why your gun was called a Transition gun, because some parts were from Syracuse but the frame was made in Fulton after they made molds with the rounded log.

Interesting. That lug doesn't look to be square and the "convex ribs" here aren't as pronounced as I would have expected.
Is this the 1892 Quality 3 gun?
