And here are the existing guns from about SN 25500 to 28000 surrounding the closing of rue Scribe in 1886. You'll see that Terry Buffum owned several of these. Some were rebarrelled. However, he might be able to clarify some of the questions about the names on the ribs per below. If anyone has these guns or knows of others in this chronological period, it would help if we could see the ribs: I'll factor this into the master chronology in a couple of weeks.
