Both SN's show the same info
Plain twist barrels
Underlifter
No extras
Straight stock
10 gauge
30"
Given the same specifications, it is reasonable to consider one gun having been assembled from two.
Not a gunsmith, but I don't see a connection between a non-functional hammer and swapping barrels. I stand to be corrected or further enlightened on the hammer gun action.
Can you submit some pictures of the gun showing the various stampings?
Cheers,
Jack
