It is an 1875 gun, no. 5949 and it has a really nice full ball grip. Pictures to follow as soon as I can get to my laptop.
OK, here are some pictures of the ball grip. These kinds of grip - the contour and feel - the easy way it pockets itself into your hand - may well have been the great-grandaddy of today's 'palm swell' grips.
We can also see why the forend checkering patterns were laid out like they were... it was all designed around the early 'keyed' forend latch system.
