Nate,

The gun predates what we have records on. If it was made in1 872, the 1872 price lists show the gun as being a $135 Dollar grade or higher due to the Damascus barrels. I don't think anybody knows what the "B" means in front of the S/N. Post some pictures!

I will attempt to do that. any idea on value? it is far from perfect, but it is all there and seems to be in working condition.
