I found this same gun from a June RIA auction. It was in a lot with three other guns, another early lifter w/30in. barrels, a Trojan 12 that was listed as a VH, and a Hopkins & Allen hammer 12. The whole lot was estimated at $950-$1400.
Don't know the final price on the lot.
The RIA description of the D doesn't give me much confidence.
