Any idea of what the original grip configuration might have been on this gun?

I was thinking of getting a research letter, but not sure when to put down on the form for Grade. It is a Damascus barrel, not twist. Based on that fact, and the level of engraving I was thinking grade 2.

The serial number should be all that is necessary. The factory records may have the info you desire. I know they did for my 1877 Grade '0' Lifter, even the fellow's name that ordered it!

Brian, I believe you have a dollar grade gun, I would say a 135.00 grade, and it has 3 pins instead of four that are found on higher grades Nice looking project gun, I know you will have a ball fixing it up. Good luck with it Gary

Brian, for my early lifter 4071, it did say who the gun was sold to. F.L Gaines of Greenfield, MA.

Pics are in my album.
