The letter states SN 3231 was Ordered in March of 1877 but that SN reflects a date of 1874. This is a gun that makes one think. I’m hesitant to even comment what I think. Maybe Gary Carmichael will see this and weigh in. Regardless WIlliam it’s a great gun and you story was a great read. The next time you feel compelled to write something like that send it to the editors of the Parker Pages.
Could you post a clear picture of the trigger guard showing the area where the serial number should be please?
