Grade 5 Hammer Guns With Steel Barrels

[Dean Romig]

It is very unfortunate the gun is in such a sad state. The frame looks to be in fairly decent condition leading one to wonder as to the circumstances that brought it to this condition.
It doesn't appear to have been the victim of a house fire so it was obviously reassembled after the stock was removed...

The condition is much better than what these poor pictures depict. On the other hand, the prospect of it ever becoming a whole gun again is daunting at best.
The likelihood of finding Top Lever Titanic barrels of any length, let alone 32", is equal to unicorn poop, but only money is required for a butt stock, correct trigger guard (unless you want to CPG) and a fore end with all the trimmings. Unless the Order book states butt treatment, a nice Silvers pad beats hunting down a SSBP.

Hmmm. Do I recall a certain North of the Border Craftsman who just made a set of hammerless barrels into a TL set. I hear he works in wood on occasion too.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure of that.

That is an exquisite frame and engraving. Looks like no game scenes (exactly what I like). Plus it is a fish tail top lever and has the two piece hinge pin.

I would be happy to bring that one back to life.

So you're offering up that butt plate? I doubt it.
John, there is a bunny on the trigger plate just forward of the bow, but the tiggerplate, and present PG trigger guard are from a 42xxx gun.

One bunny does not hurt a thing.


Being serious I don't see any other game scenes/ animal scenes. Other than the bunny it all appears in the pics to be scroll.
IMO very very tasteful.
