PGCA letter?

Thanks for asking, Bill. No letter yet, probably after New Years before I get around to it. I'll post if anything interesting turns up.

Early hammerless guns with non rebounding hammers include the best engraved of all DH grade guns in my opinion.
56553 10 ga two frame and 56568 12ga one frame

have a single "looking back" dog on the floorplate.

The large detachable floorplate on the hammerless may have been a design feature to facilitate sending floorplates out for engraving.

Best, Austin
