Are we really sure that the 4 is part of the damascus designation? I have number of G grade guns with the D designation. However, the noted 4 or other modifier is significantly away from the D, as follows: very late damascus G, 220657, D with 4 above and to right; very early hammerless G, 57816, D with C above and to the right; top action hammer G, 43810, D with J above and to the right; lifter G, 19134, D with nothing; lifter G, 18716, D with small m above and to the right; and finally lifter, 14830 D with nothing. Personally, I don't believe the letters, numbers, or nothings have anything to do with the Damascus designation. What do you all think?

Bill, you're probably right in that the 4 immediately to the right of the D may not be an indicator of the grade of Damascus.
I am actually counting the ribbands between weld lines on my guns. Uh-oh... here we go again. Drew, help us out with this again. |

I'm far from an expert but here's a copy and paste from the FAQ dealing with damascus:
Left to right: 'D4' - Quality 4 Damascus, 'C' - likely barrel maker or finisher, '4, 1' - pre-finish barrel weight, '3' - Grade 3 or D, '2' on the lug - frame size. Courtesy of Greg Baehman https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Q...rrbtXtNdQQLqOv GH courtesy of Dave Miles

Here's a photo of the research letter - it's exactly like it was when it left Meriden except for the fact that someone whacked off the butt, added a recoil pad and shortened the overall LOP. Still weighs the same. It's interesting to me that it was ordered and shipped in 1906 but the SN dates it to 1904. Is this unusual?
Anybody have a 0-frame whole butt stock they don't need?
