1882 T lifter questions

[Pa SxS]

Dean, I believe William was referring to his gun as a Quality T lifter not a T-latch lifter.

What you get in the letter depends on when the gun was made and if it's not in a missing order or stock book. A gun made in 1882 has a good chance to be in both books. Low grade guns were ordered mostly by hardware stores, sporting goods stores, or dealers, usually not by individuals. If you order a letter online, the letter will usually go out to you the same day or no more than a few days later. Depends on what I'm doing. Mail me a check and it takes longer to get it.

I don't mean to highjack this thread, but my question may be relevant. I thought I saw recently that the option to make a research letter request online and pay via PayPal was no longer an option. (I assumed because of some political stance taken by PayPal.) Did I misinterpret the information? Can we still request letters online and pay via PayPal? Thanks!

Garry for members that use the search feature in the research section and search a particular serial number when it indicates that records are available you will then have the option to "PLEASE CLICK HERE". Upon doing so it will open the letter request form which does have the "click here to pay now" option that you referred to. I point this out as if you go to the same research section and just click on the "click here" to down load a pdf version of the letter request form you will not have the option of paying on line using that approach. Search a serial number and pull up the letter request form, you will see what I am referring to. Good luck !
