The Scott wasn't even listed in the 1872 Scott catalog (no singles shown). It came out of Boston nd was likely sold through William Reid (their first distributor in the US). It carries the more prestigious address which pewgs it as one of their top two grades, the Premiers not appearing for a few more years, according to the Scott book. What is unique is the incredible sculpting of the action and breech section. I am xcertain from the look that a normal double acxtion was taken and reworked into a single withan angled firing pin.
