I got my research letter on my 4216 today.
It had some useful informaiton, but I was hoping for more. But that is the way it is I guess, one never knows.

It states that the gun was ordered by John P. Lovell & Sons in Boston, MA on Jan. 30 1877 and shipped on Feb 5, 1877.
It was in Stock book 1. Listed as a 12g underlifter hammer with 30" Damascus barrels. The stock configuration is not listed.
It was sold along with 5 other guns for $330.
The grade is not listed.

Mark did attached an additional letter saying that the gun was made in 1875. And that the line in the stock book for the gun was completely blank. So only the order info exists.

I was really hoping to get confirmation as to the grade.
Based on the photos, what do you all think. It looks to me like it is between a grade 2 and 3. A tad nicer engraving than most grade 2's that I have seen, but not as elaborate as some grade 3's.
