Jeffery, on the top rib legend we see an S just before the edge of the picture… is that the beginning of Stub Twist?

Hi Jeff.

I have a early lifter c.1874 two barrel Stub Twist set very similar to yours. The bore diameter for barrel #1 is .760 and .759. Barrel #2 .750 and .753. According to the letter barrels #1 were sent back in 1894 to have dents removed and clean out barrels. Note the larger bore diameter in barrel #1.
