I just added five new pictures to the album of the barrel flats and the front of the receiver. I am not much of a photographer (had trouble keeping the flash glare out of the pics) so please forgive me. However, there is some inscripted dates on the front of the receiver: " Pat'd Jan 18th, Aug 16th 1887" and "May 7 - Oct 8, 1889". There is not much on the flats themselves (as you can see in the pics). And, across the rib is the inscription: "Parker Brothers Makers, Meriden, Conn, Vulcan Steel" Hope this info helps you guys and thanks a bunch.
Mike
