This one is owned by a turnip farmer friend who has to have a good year at the roadside vegetable stand to pay for the work, but I will get the SN sometime.

Another farmer in Illinois is sharpening his axe to whittle out the forend.

How do we know which seven we are counting? The book calls for 75. It's hard to believe that only seven are in our group.

Very Beautiful, Bruce.
Never say Never, but I would not have expected to see those hammers on a gun lower than Grade 5. The double spur hammer is also present on the New York Salesroom gun you have shown in the Quality C thread. They are very much more elegant than the more commonly seen single spur hammer usually associated with Grade 4.
I believe someone once offered offset firing pins, but not sure. Is that something your friend could consider? Maybe the bushings too.
Also, worn axles seem to be an issue, though that could also be wear in the lock plate.
