Default Calling all early hammerless guns

All,
I am doing some research and am looking for any who have examples of very early hammerless guns to please contact me. I just have a simple thing for you to check on and report back to me. The first recorded hammerless gun was number 55296 and I am not looking for any numbers above 57600.

So, if you have a gun, action or frame between the numbers 55296 and 57600, PLEASE contact me.

As I am able to close the window on serial numbers, I will update this.

You've probably seen pictures of my gun several times before, but 56213 is a heavy Quality 2, 2-frame, 12-gauge that was ordered on June 28, 1889. For some reason the watertable is stamped E below the serial number instead of G --
