That's very interesting Dean. Incredible gun also. I have two hammer guns in hand and both have very narrow un-mullered borders. I could be wrong, but I don't believe that the checkering was ever re-done on these guns. It is almost worn off but I believe if the borders were mullered, I would be able to see it. And the lines of the border are too close to the end of the checkering for mullering.
Maybe someone can help me if they have a picture of an early gun with un-mullered original checkering. If no one comes up with something, I'll assume I'm mistaken and will cut mullered borders on these guns when I do the checkering. It's important to me to have the checkering look like it did when it left the factory.
That is one hell of a gun and case Dean. I hope you shoot it from time to time.
