Letter for 31436 D TL Hammer from Morphy's
Here is the letter on the gun nothing special. Since it was made in 1883 the gun should incorporate all of the 1882 design changes, dolls head, large extractors, check hook, plunger firing pins. It does have shootable dimensions for me and still weights 10lbs 4 ozs. Fingers crossed I can make it into a shooter. I get as excited about buying one of these old war horse guns as I do high condition high grade guns.

Glad someone here picked that one up , I had thought of bidding on it but I new a Parker collector wasnt going to let a #4 frame 10 ga slip by that easily haha . Hope to hear how the bores turn out , they didnt really give much description on them . Ive found a similar one to that but in higher condition however it probably cost x5 as much also . I have seen probably more #2 frame 10 gauges than #4s . Any idea on the barrel thickness at the breech ? They look pretty beefy .
