[Roundsworth]

I completely disassembled the gun. I found no indication or remnants of a serial number in the stock. The inletting appears hand-hewn, not machine cut. Well done, nonetheless. This is my first hammerless gun breakdown, so I do not know what the inletting on a factory stock looks like.

The bottom/trigger plate has obviously been muscled out once or twice. I would bet that the aft end of it was used as a lever to break it loose from the frame. I did some careful tapping with an oak mallet and was able to get the plate to sit flush without force. I did not upset the integrity of the fit, though. It still fits tight as can be.

This is, by far, the dirtiest, driest and rustiest gun I have ever taken apart. Out of 150+ guns I have had in my possession, this is the worst! It appears as though all the original parts are there, judging by the serial numbers. There is one small crack in the stock that I can stabilize with Acraglas.

With all the parts off the frame, the barrels fit very snug with no side to side or forward and aft movement. She's on face!
