Dean, I believe William was referring to his gun as a Quality T lifter not a T-latch lifter.
What you get in the letter depends on when the gun was made and if it's not in a missing order or stock book. A gun made in 1882 has a good chance to be in both books. Low grade guns were ordered mostly by hardware stores, sporting goods stores, or dealers, usually not by individuals. If you order a letter online, the letter will usually go out to you the same day or no more than a few days later. Depends on what I'm doing. Mail me a check and it takes longer to get it.
