The gun is going to need a little work before it can be fired. Bores are going to have to be honed. They are pretty rough. I will have to pull the stock off to see if it has any serial no. on it. All other numbers match. Stock also has a lot of cast to it. It shoulders well.

We talked about this before, at that time we came up with the conclusion that it likey was the mark of the barrel maker or finisher. In addition to being stamped into the barrel flats you will also often see the C stamped between the barrel lugs.

I am dismantleing as we speek. so far no serial no. I can say for sure that if a restock it is an old one. wood is pretty dark at the head. Someone has chassed the checkering and did a lousey job of it. A light sanding on the checkering with a flat file and sand paper would put small flats on the dimonds and make the checkering look better. Probable do that and leave the rest of it alone. It has personality.

Wayne,
Do not sand or file at the checkering to flatten it. Burnish it instead.
