Serial numbers on the lug
Seems unusual that the serial number on the rear lug is in two places. Undoubtedly period specific. I have no idea about the reasoning here, it’s a bit redundant.

Typically it is the last 3 of the serial that are there. Not the whole number.

Letter states $85 Dollar Grade with mention of Skeleton Butt Plate and Cap Grip.
Ordered by B.F. Wright of Cincinnati, OH. 30” Damascus Steel Barrels Full & Full LOP 14” Drop at Heel 3” 10lbs. 3oz. The shotgun precisely matches the letter. A big thanks to Mr. Chuck Bishop for his research work at the PGCA. Imagine the waterfowl opportunities in 1880’s around Cincinnati. |
