Thanks Charlie,
The man that lost the hammer made one that works now and probably more valuable, sentimentally, than a new hammer but there has to be 2360 more out there and one may have more markings. The gun is probably only worth about $200.00 and may stay in the family longer if it isn’t worth selling. The fun one can have researching such a thing, again, priceless. I wonder how many horses stage coach operators shot by accident because it has to be the most dangerous firearm ever made. I will have it disabled before passing it on.
