Dave: That makes sense as the Hunter Brothers were standing up a whole new company (after carting everything down from Syracuse in 1888-9). The original LC Smith buttplates wouldn't work and a new one had yet to be developed.
After reading this thread, It got me thinking of a similar gun I bought for the same reason as the OP. I believe this gun was produced in 1890 but it has a different butt plate, doesn't have the forearm escutcheon and has the larger breech balls. This gun is a Quality 3 with 10 gauge 30" barrels.
