Like many posters I have an 1883 hammer that has been in my family since
it was new. I have used the research provided here to help me understand
this gun. Serial number 37285, Frame 2, .75 bore, barrel 28 inches. I still do not know the grade but I think it may be a 1. there are also letters WLTR or
MLTR stamped on it. My dad gave this gun to me about 15 yrs ago and it had
a leather covering on the end of the stock. I peeled that off and some residue
is still on the wood. Gun is original and face is tight. Inside of barrels are pitted and would probably clean up with a restoration. Will try to attach photos. Seeking advice on how to market this gun to a collector who would
like to restore it and use it.
