The ONLY Grade 5 Top Action hammer gun ever made (that we know of) with 32" Titanic Steel barrels.

The wood has likely been burned (to some degree) beneath the areas where the wire was soldered to the top reinforcing strap and the trigger guard.

Of course you are correct. One of those times I like being wrong.

Any guess as to if the butt plate is factory? I don't see what I would expect to see for screws. Like Craig said Very Cool!

Dean, Mark Conrad had one and so did I mine 30" Marks was 32"

Dean there was at least 1 other that we know of, #92850 which was actually offered for sale on the forum some 3 years or so ago as I recall.

This gun is not the gun that Mark owned. Mark's was R.A.Welsh's gun. This gun, apparently, is not Welsh's gun.

Was Mark Conrad's gun, offered here http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22242 Also lacking the rib extension. Hiss pictures do not show a view of the top of the receiver.
The engraving on this diamond in the rough is spectacular.

I find it very hard to believe that butt plate is original to the gun.

I see that Mark had one for sale in 2017 so if this subject gun really has 32" barrels then it must be 1 of 2, this one being heretofore unknown.

I agree with Dean the steel butt plate is a replacement it is poorly fitted. This gun talks to me for some reason, but I need to keep my finger off the bid button. I swore off big project guns and need to hold that promise.

After the purchase of the gun I see $6-7k to properly resurrect it.

I sure hope a PGCA member buys and brings it back to life. Otherwise someone will hacksaw the barrels and be a cowboy.
