Does the barrells being switched hurt the value.

What does your rib marking say? Meriden, Conn. or Meriden, CT, U.S.A.? I can't read from the C to the U in Vulcan it in the photo. They changed from Conn. to CT., U.S.A. about 1918. When the Vulcan Steel barrels were added to the gun did they change the bolt and fit a bolt plate to the barrel lug? 1905 style? 1910 style? Is there a numeral 2 stamped on the forearm loop on the barrels and under the serial number on the forearm iron? Many things to check to judge the age of the barrels.

Thanks for the reply. Meriden, Conn. Not sure about the bolt plate. I am supposed to pick the gun up tommorow. Do you think that change hurts the value?

If it was factory work it certainly wouldn't.

Do you think 2,000 is a good price for this gun?
