The sculpting of the frame forward of the lock plates is unusual - I've not seen one like that before.

Not notice that at first Dean. Yes. Usually that line hugs the lock plate a lot more. Typically by no more than roughly 1/4".

Please correct me if I'm wrong but further research leads me to believe the numbers on the underside of the BBL's next to the Birmingham Proof House hallmark are the BBL makers I'D not a S/N. I have also found out that the locks are " Stoks Patent" as there are no other markings on any of the gun components, Could it be that this gun was manufactured using surplus musket parts? which makes the date on the BBL rib of 1869 more logical

here are some more pic's, the numbers next to the proof house hallmark are the only ones anywhere on any parts, note the letter "G" in the 2nd. pic.
I'll post pic's of the action when I get it back from DaveP1010552.jpg P1010553.jpg P1010560.jpg P1010561.jpg P1010562.jpg P1010563.jpg P1010566.jpg P1010567.jpg P1010568.jpg |

A little hard to tell, but that guard COULD be original. The engraving on the front and back certainly is. And there is no sign of the front screw hole being filled.
Interesting. If they wanted a pistol grip, they should have ordered one.

I would say it is original and special order. I'd sure like to see the letter on that gun.

Some years ago I owned a early four digit lifter that I bought from Ron Kirby and it had the same trigger guard bow. It was factory....
