Craig,
For some reason I can't get the pics to copy/ paste.
Anyway the hammerless D grade I bought from Cabelas about 10 years ago and sent it to Turnbull for restoration. It is a #6 frame 10, 36" barrels and weighs 14 lbs. it was built in 1901 and sent to a guy in South Dakota. His name is still on the oval plate.
The other one is a D grade hammer 10, #6 frame,34" barrels I bought about 8 years ago. It went to Turnbull also and was such a wreck it was almost unrestorable. It weighs 13.5 lbs and was built in 1901 also.
Both are in as new condition now and I feel good that they are back doing what they were built for: long range duck and goose shooting. I have a couple hundred full length brass cases I load with pyrodex and about 1 1/4 oz of shot( bismuth for hunting). I also shoot them at ZZ trap now and then. They are also a lot of fun for driven pheasants.
Regards, Alan
