I always get a bit edgy when a vintage gun is advertised with 2-7/8" drop because some sellers will "round down" the drop at heel to something less if the actual drop is 3” or more. That’s to make the gun more marketable. Then when called on it if an inspection period was offered the seller fella will often ask if my measurement bar is dead straight, if I know what I'm doing, or he laughs it off as an insignificant measurement error, no big deal. Blah, blah. Net, hard to get him to take the gun back. IME a drop of 3" or more is a big detriment when trying to resell to most potential buyers, if and when.
I'm not saying that's the case with this subject Parker, but just sayin. If Dave the OP is really interested I suggest he ask the seller to remeasure and confirm the drop at heel before going ahead with the deal.
