The letter says 14 lbs 8ozs. As far as memory goes i dont think anything is stamped on watertable. Along with the 7 stamped on the lug there is also a 2 in a circle.

If you give me the serial number, maybe I can clear up the confusion on grade. If you don't want the serial number made public, e-mail me at pgcaresearch@verizon.net

It states in the letter 14 lbs and some odd ounces. All i can,say is it's a beast. I just leave it broken down in the safe. Is there anything i should know about proper cleaning? Thanks.

Keep it rubbed down with an oily rag. When you find time, try to scrub the bores out with some oil soaked steel wool on the end of a long dowel. I would tell you to use a bronze brush, but such brushes are hard to find that large. As long as you get brown oil on the steel wool, you have rust in the barrel. Take your time and be thorough. We would like to know more about your letter. Our researcher is looking it up, but may not share with us. Where is Baucher Brothers and is that the correct spelling?
