Hey Jay,
Thanks for the note and the links. The barrel rib is imprinted with 'Parker Bro Makers Meriden Conn Laminated Steel'. The last picture shows that but it is really hard to get a good picture of it. You'll have to blow it up.
I'm a big proponent of keeping these guns alive. I deer hunt with my 1874 Springfield Trapdoor 45-70 and I hope this one will be my turkey gun. I'm really on the fence about the repairing vs replacing the stock. Maybe just repair for now since I don't really plan on selling it. I can always replace it later if need be. But first priority is to get that left hammer fixed.
Thanks again.
