Eric, that's exactly what Peter needs. What was the serial number on that forend you sold? It may have been the missing one from this gun. If the person you sold it to hasn't put it to use yet, maybe he could be convinced to part with it for Peter's BHE on the 1-frame.

Eric had that iron advertised as a 1-1/2 frame. So it would not work on this 1 frame gun. I know of who purchased that forend and he does have specific plans for it.

Is it 172668 Brian??

If Mr. Baxter knows that his gun is based on a #1 frame, I am sure he can read the letters on the water table. :rolleyes:

Putting the feelers out here for the missing components is a good start in finding a replacement.

No, the forend that Eric had advertised was a post 200,000 serial number. It was advertised at a 1-1/2 frame forend.

The subject gun of this thread IS 172668.

Brian I am glad you cleared that up as being a 1 1/2 and not a 1 frame. I was not sure and was thinking oh man if that's the gun I really screwed up but I also know if it was the gun the owner I sold it to would have done the right thing and sold it back to the owner of the gun.

Here is a forend for sale on GB, probably not the right one:

Much over priced

Overpriced? If you need one $300 is a gift.

Seems like more than a fair price to me and condition looks pretty good.
