This gun looks to be about a B grade, which cost the same as an AHE Parker circa 1900. Even with the cut barrels, it was well worth saving. Thanks, Brian for taking it on and doing a great job!

Of all the excellent work on display in this thread I am drawn to the butt treatment with the heel and toe plates like a fat boy to french fries, that's just me. I can't quit looking at that. Nice job on the entire project Brian!

As soon as I saw the stepped lock plate in the first picture, I knew it was gonna be a good'n.

The crazy thing is that the head of the stock WAS original. The inletting was perfect. But everything on the outside was so molested and banged up that absolutely no original detail or traces remained. You could not even see the steps in the wood where the steps in the plates were. Let alone any sign of what the cheeks were shaped like, or if there were any sort of drop points.
