Serial number is in the book as a Grade D3 , Hammerless, no extras ,capped grip,10 gauge,30" barrels. Besides some buggered screws , maybe a touch off face its looks like a nice gun. I wonder what the frame size is it looks smaller than mine. It should be marked on the barrel lug bottom next to the breach. There may be three numbers there which would be the last three in serial we want the other bottom .

winplumber.... I'm sorry I am not following you about the additional picture. The frame size near as I can tell is a 3 is that not correct?
Ed Blake: Thank you! Do you have any advice on how to provide a good cleaning? I have a couple dozen guns none of the rest over say 50 years old. I clean them everytime I shoot them and keep them oiled but I don't know how to care for something this old. Maybe there is information on this forum if so I will try and find it. Thanks again everyone. Tristan |

Are you saying its a 3 frame from one of the pictures you posted ? I may be wrong (Damn I hate that word) but I thought the frame size is marked on the barrel lug which I dont see in a picture you have.

Great old gun. Not sure how it's done but I have seen metal cleaned with rotten stone and light oil and the results have been excellent. It does not make the metal look new, just clean, and it there are remaining case colors they'll appear.

Caution! - look again at the picture of the top lever - there is still color under the crud - use nothing abrasive
