A pair of very nice top action hammer guns, Grades 1 and 2. Hard to find in anything small bore and hard to find in good condition. Thanks for sharing.

I bought the Grade 2 in California in 1996 found the Grade 1 online from a dealer in Maine last year. Had no intention of buying the second one as it wasn't as nice as the one I had and thought it was overpriced. Then I saw the serial number on one of the closeup photos. Figured that wasn't likely to happen again so I bought it. Probably started production on the same day in 1888, waiting for the research letters to see where they went from the factory. Internet gun trading is a blessing and a curse. You can see guns you'd never see whithout a lot of traveling but on the other hand its driven prices up and bargains are hard to come by. Paid about half as much for the Grade 2
