That must be a very early gun Gary - no serial number engraved on the trigger guard strap.... What is the number of that gun?
Nevermind - Gary's pictures are a continuation of the previous page of this thread. |

Dean, It does not have the Ser# on the trigger guard, My ser# 97 does not either, It would be interesting to hear from other members who might have early guns say below 100, Both of these guns has the ser# on the water table, and the barrel flats, and the for end wood, and every where else you would expect, but not on the trigger guard!

Just took one in last week. No number on the guard. Serial # 57, 30" barrels. The gun is in great shape, poorly restored, but not destroyed. The first early backaction that I have seen in 14 guage.

Weren't the Meriden Manufacturing "T Latch" guns made with de carbonized barrels?

Bessemer/Decarbonized Steel is NOT the same as Charles Parker Makers "Gun Iron" barrels which were made from surplus Cast Steel musket barrels.
c. 1866, Parker offered 'Plain Finish-Iron' Barrel for $50, 'Superior Finish-Iron' Barrel for $75, and 'Laminated Steel' barrel for $100. In 1869 Decarbonized Steel was listed for the $75 grade, and in 1874 “Plain Steel”. 1866 catalog courtesy of Richard Hoover
