Thumbs up 1870's Lifter

I realize I'm a little late with this post, but I haven't been on the forum in some time.
Thought it'd be worth mentioning that your gun bares some resemblance to mine. My gun being made in 1874, excludes it from the order books which I guess didn't start until 1877. My serial no. is 4084, not all that far from yours and the engraving compares of our guns to likely be the same engraver - that of Jacob Glahn.
Compare for yourself, and I welcome others to as well. Glahn in my opinion was one uniquely engraver, I especially like his eye for detail, creative scrolls and borders, and anatomic accuracy.
You can view other post and discussion on my gun in this Hammergun forum around 2/9/2016, titled "New Member/Inherited Early 10 Ga."
I'll attach a few pics of my gun for your comparisons.
