That must be a very early gun Gary - no serial number engraved on the trigger guard strap.... What is the number of that gun?


Nevermind - Gary's pictures are a continuation of the previous page of this thread.

Dean, It does not have the Ser# on the trigger guard, My ser# 97 does not either, It would be interesting to hear from other members who might have early guns say below 100, Both of these guns has the ser# on the water table, and the barrel flats, and the for end wood, and every where else you would expect, but not on the trigger guard!

I also have an early Back Action #1416 which also does not have the serial number engraved on the trigger guard.

Just took one in last week. No number on the guard. Serial # 57, 30" barrels. The gun is in great shape, poorly restored, but not destroyed. The first early backaction that I have seen in 14 guage.

Weren't the Meriden Manufacturing "T Latch" guns made with de carbonized barrels?

Bessemer/Decarbonized Steel is NOT the same as Charles Parker Makers "Gun Iron" barrels which were made from surplus Cast Steel musket barrels.
c. 1866, Parker offered 'Plain Finish-Iron' Barrel for $50, 'Superior Finish-Iron' Barrel for $75, and 'Laminated Steel' barrel for $100. In 1869 Decarbonized Steel was listed for the $75 grade, and in 1874 “Plain Steel”.
