My last post on the subject - There appears to be an oval of lighter colored wood in the checkering there in that added triangle, suggesting an inlaid patch of wood. If so, this would support my theory of the factory change of forend latching systems.

I once owned a 10 gauge Grade 2 gun with sculpted bolsters, offset firing pins, keyed/wedged forend, and 'P' marked Laminated barrels. It was in the 15000 serial number range, made in 1879.

The P marked barrels were only made, according to C.A. King, in 1877, '78, and '79.

I have 1879 and 1880 guns with them.

That is a very nice gun Brian! I am not sure if you reload or not? I bought a short, short 10 this past spring as well and was able to get 2 5/8" 10 gauge low pressure shells from RST. They are are not listed on their website but the will make them. One day(hopefully soon) I'll get set up for reloading, but for now RST keeps me shooting. I'd also recommend Track of the Wolf's brass shells, but that gun may be a bit too pretty for blackpowder...

I am going to have to get set up for 10 gauge soon until then I will have to rely on our friends at RST.

That is one nice gun! As for the checkering it's a none issue, to say it's not parker, bold. Did I say that is one cool gun.

Brian, have you received your research letter yet?
If yes, can you share it with us?
