Thanks Charlie. I believe it was made somewhere between 1878-1880. Serial number is just over 7800 which should put it near that time frame. I acquired it through a fellow hunter safety instructor who had it stowed away without ever firing it. She is in good shape especially considering that she's 140 years old. I sent her off to Kody Kearcher in Oregon for an inspection. Otherwise she hasn't been restored or modified. 32 inch barrels and tips the scales at ten pounds. A joy to shoot but I'm a little slow at cocking those hammers on the flush.
