There are rounded lug lifters and there are three lug, check hook lifters. Which one is the Silent Auction gun, Charlie?

bill this gun is the rounded lug but its not a lifter gun its a fishtail top lever gun serial no 65145... the other gun is a lifter with the 3 lug... MILLS got a letter on the fishtail gun the silent auction gun... heres what letter says......serial no65145 was ordered by e. t. allen of sanfrancisco ca. on sept.29 1891 and shipped onoct.9 1991 according to parker bro. order book no.29 it was a quality r top action hammer gun 8 ga. it featured plain twist barrels with a length of 34 inches the stock was a capped pistol grip... the price was60.00 plus 35.00 for the 8 ga barrels... according to parker bros. stock book no 23 its specifications were lenth of pull 14 1/4 inch drop at heel 3 inch weight 12 lb 8 ounce.... charlie

the pictures of thelug end of the barrels is on the silent auction 8 ga thread...please look and give opinion...the 3 lug gun is the lifter 8 the rough set of barrel arethe fishtail 8... is it possible to put the rounded set of lugs on the 3 lug frame... i believe this is possible and i believe this has whats been done to this gun the fishtail silent auction gun... on the main frame of the gun the pin that goes thru the main frame is removed...this is the pin behind the big hinge pin...i believe this pin to be where a 3 lugs secound hook would have caught on to frame...hope im not confusing yall... charlie
