They are all in original unrestored condition.
The engraving amazes me on these Grade 6 hammer guns. It must have taken literally weeks, many weeks just to engrave them. .

These are 3 of 8 consecutively ordered A grade 10g. 32" guns. All 4 frame guns. 1883 Manufacture.
6 of the 8 are known of. Here is another of them. This one falls right in-between the 3 pictured here. http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28151

The apotheosis of the Victorian aesthetic, coinciding with the machine age, gave us products like the A-grade 10.
It was a time when our genius-class was concentrating on doing advanced things with metal. The electronic age has been a great step forward for humanity; and that field may have its own esteemed “Researchers” of vintage devices. It's all good, but vacuum tubes just don't exude the soul and collector-cachet that is enjoyed by our cohort of outdoorsman.
