O.K fella's ,I just got the letter.....the gun was ordered by Buhl & sons and company in Detroit on April the 17 ,1896 and shipped on June 9 of the same year the barrel's were 30 inch damascus (bernard ) choke's were full and full the order specified a stock sheild engraved BM ,length of pull was specified at 14 1/4 drop at 3 and a weight of 7 lb's at a price of $150.00 ....basically that's all I have.The gun has sling swivel's installed (unfortunately ) the stock is not origional and broken at the wrist and there was a rear sight installed about an inch ahead of the doll's head (very unsightly) damascus is quite visible with a couple dent's (wich I've removed) the bore's are quite good,and the receiver has no color left......So basically ,what have I got here ?...personally I would like to keep it, restocked of course to my dimension's the sling swivel and sight would be plugged for now untill a better repair can be made.
Any advice greatly apprciated,thank-you in advance
