The OP says it was made in 1904. But, isn't that a Remington era buttplate, missing the "Brothers" under dog's head? Much later than 1904...

Same as a trojan that was discussed in another thread that wears the same buttplate. Also went through the delgrego shop.

Fajen had some great semi-inlet stocks and I wish they were still in business. Bobby

The gentleman says he likes the little gun and bags birds with it. In my book that's all that really matters.
