Terry, If you post some photos and include some that show the serial #, barrel flats and the water table you will likely learn more about your gun than you ever imagined. The body of knowledge of these folks is mind boggling.

Thanks for the advice. I took a bunch of pics last night, where would be the best place to post them, so that others can look at them. I am going to send in to get the history report also. My ser# is 20084 no letters. So from what I have been able to find out that it was made in 1880. Think it's a 0 grade with ejector.

Terry you can post your pics right here within this thread. Go to the home page and scroll down to the bottom of the FAQ's where you will find a tutorial on posting pics, it is not that difficult.

Your gun appears to be a plain twist lifter, 12 gauge, 30" version and it most likely has an extractor and not an ejector mechanism.

Well That what I have. It has been in a safe seen 2008 when my friend passed away this was his Grand Fathers that purchased it new, or my understanding. This gun was in their family when they lived on Mound Key in Florida for years. As all these guns they have history..
Should I take it to a Smith and have it restored?
I believe it works but the hammers I haven't drawn back.
Thanks for your help..
