Congratulations Jacob on a good buy. I also have a grade 2 lifter made in 1878. Yours has some some extra engraving on the breech balls. Let us know what the gun smith says.
Jacob, I also have a grade 2 lifter in the 13,000 s/n range, and as Mike notes, your gun has what appears to be extra factory engraving on the breech balls and at the top of the metal buttplate. Makes for an interesting and desireable gun, IMHO. Congratulations.
