Steve> I'm not sure about the butt plate the book said it was started in 1902 and the gun was made in 1901? The cap is older then the gun? maybe they put parts on the gun because they had them at the time?

Dean> Thanks, I think the gun was used! I wish the gun could talk

I didn't realize that we knew what year various buttplates were first used. Can you give us a reference for that information? By the way, I think the buttplate on the pictured gun is usually used on a #2 frame gun. Am I correct about that?
