Keep the information coming guys. This is great stuff. I feel like I'm back in class and prepping for the test. So, how many shots do you suppose Gilbert fired while using his borrowed L. C. Smith?

The barrels came on a gun, #74,151, that I bought from John Davis Esq. Some time later, I found the original barrels for #74,151 in Virginia and put them back on the gun they were made with. Don't ask me to swear to any of this.

Bill, I remember the gun. It was a DH that originally had damascus barrels but those had been replaced (non-factory) with a set of Titanic steel barrels. I think you found the original barrels and popped the Titanic barrels on another gun or found the original gun that the Titanic barrels went with? Not sure which but I do remember it was the case of another rabbit you pulled out of the hat.

John's BH gun has something to do with this. I have all the correspondence, but I promise to never look at it again. John, I miss you and your paper.
