Sorry Brian, I wasn't clear in my response. I was speaking of the gun Gary posted pictures of and Dean said "he knew that gun". Sorry for the confusion.

Brian,
Thanks for posting pics of the stock.
I stand by my assesment of the stock not being original. Along with my previous observations, the quality of the inletting is far below meriden factory standards.

And... For all thise who think that a serial number under a guard is a gurantee of originality... It has NO serial number under the guard.

How can hammer spurs break like that? Bad spots in the forgings?

Thats one way to disable an unsafe wall hanger. At least the chambers arent welded up.

with just the tops of the hammers missing- the gun is not inoperable, just hard to cock

the example I posted were broken just a little lower, but similar

since they were almost evenly broken and due to other signs- i have always assumed it was dropped or fell over on a hard surface and the spurs, since they protrude, took the force of the fall
