Some additional details on this gun.
It is signed by Gough (HG) on the right lockplate. Some others of the 8 guns are out there and this is the only one that I know of that is signed. The engraving and metalwork is spectacular! And everything inside of it is high polish and the mainsprings are even engine turned (Jeweled).

Another interesting tidbit is that the one hammer is mismatched it is from the next gun in the consecutive run. And that gun has this guns hammer on it. They were mixed up at the factory!!!

All 8 guns were all ordered by the same sporting good store in St.Louis and they were all identical in grade and configuration. That still has me scratching my head as to why 8 guns, all the same were ordered on speculation.

This one was found in a trailer home in Upstate NY and was only 1/2 hour away from where the original owner of the gun lived. It was original owned by a military man. A band leader and composer for the 9th infantry.
