MBatten, To be sure the photos did the gun no favors and the lack of communication and measurements absolutely held back the sale price. Glad it is better than advertised. I thought the hammer screw slots were in good order, but Damascus was right, the camera angles were playing tricks with the geometry. In fact almost all of the screws were nice, and with the replacement barrels I was hopeful that that they were solid with thick walls, but of course no guarantees from the auctioneer. Bravo on a courageous bid and well-bought gun. Post some photos when you get her cleaned up.
