Thank you very much. I had a feeling. He tried to screw me on a couple of the trades. Luckily I had done some research on my own and had some help from a friend who's an avid collector. I asked him to rate the gun, and he said it was "about 40%." That sounded kind of low, but either way I thought he was full of it. When I told him the book value was WAY above his for that same gun at 10%, his response was "Then why don't you see if you can get the book to buy it from you." I knew I'd never do business with him again.

It does have ejectors, and it is marked with a "D."

Interesting that it was the "doctor's gun," since my great-grandfather was a doctor . . . as were my grandfather and my father. I think it most likely belonged to him. Here are a few more closeups.
