Thanks for sharing your grandfathers gun with us. I'm sure everyone would love to see more pics. I would like to see the forend and the breech face (where the firing pins come out)

It is so cool that your grandfather's initials were engraved on the shield. It is unfortunate more people didn't do that. I don't think it cost a penny more.
What a family treasure.
I think the case colors are being unfairly amplified by the photography. If that is true, the gun looks mint.

Richard Flanders, you're right about the hinge screw. This came down to me through two other relatives so I can blame one of them . There is also some wear on the outside of the trigger guard and a light rust coating on the inside - probably from fingers, which is what prompted me to ask here.

Mike Franzen, I had to look up those gun parts so if I didn't get these pictures right please direct me. I'm not ready yet to take the hinge screw out to get a better shot of the breech face!

George, I agree my flash is causing some odd reflections. In these latest pictures the barrel has a brown tint which is NOT rust (honest) just a weird reflection.

Thanks everybody again.

Sally
