Who Invented This?

[Bill Murphy]

The 1869 to 1875 would be the correct ones for your particular gun, in my opinion. My 4371 eight is 1872. I would assume yours is a bit earlier. The letter will set you back 60 or 70 BP.

The lack of barrel markings has me wondering if the barrels are not original WR, or, have been buffed mercilessly. The barrels are off-face, and the extension/doll's head appears to be poorly fitted. I also wonder if the patchbox wouldn't be on a breechloader, unless converted from a muzzleloader. The gun is not mine. I thought it might be an interesting addition to my gun locker, but, there are too many questionable things, especially the barrels.
