I removed the for-end and can feel a very slight side - to - side click but really can't see any change in the barrel gap.

It should be solid with no movement or clicking. Either it was rebarreled and shot a ton, or someone just found barrels that sort of fit. The latter is much more likely...

Then I guess that basically I am looking at a "mongrel" for collector value and just a shooter ?

Thank you everyone for your help. I will inform the owner that he basically has a "wall hanger" or bait for the next buy-back program by the local police dept. Either way He will be told to NOT SHOOT IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES !!

easy there. There are a lot of potentially good parts inside the action, don't let it get melted down and destroyed by the gov't.

That 1902 DH is much more likely to be a 2 frame than a 1 1/2 frame. And the gunk we see may just be grease. 109878 started life with Damascus barrels, so I suspect someone found a set of Vulcan steel barrels that fit or were easily fitted to the gun. I’ve had that done several times and I’m not by myself. It’s not a collectible but it could be a shooter. You just need someone who knows what they’re looking at to give you a hands on inspection.
