Default GH 16

Picked up a GH 16 O frame at Hidden Hollow this weekend. Serial # is 77340 which should put it around 1893. Would someone please see what the book has to say about it. I will eventually order a letter as I have for the rest of my Parkers. Unfortunately, someone blued the barrels and I will have it stripped and have the Damascus "restored". I haven't put it on the scale yet, but it sure feels sweet. Haven't taken any pictures yet as I am still trying to catch up after being gone for 3 days. I have found some good mild low pressure loads using International or 20/28 in 3/4 and 7/8 oz loads and need to hit the reloading bench. I have a lot of mild 7/8 oz loads using green dot that I use in my steel guns but am thinking I would be more comfortable with lower pressures in Damascus. Try to post some pictures soon.
