It is a V grade made in 1902 according to the serial number and as the story goes the last time it was fired it pierced a primer. The firing pin was broke off the hammer and the stock shattered beyond repair. It sat in this shape for an untold number of years before I was able to liberate it at a gun show. It goes without saying that a new hammer is in order and after removing the trigger plate a complete cleaning is in order. Without knowing the ins and outs of these fine guns I was a little leery to start jerking parts out. All the parts are original and matching numbers. I plan to restore it completely and make a good saddle gun out of it. I will post pics soon as I can as well as the serial number if yall wish.
