Somehow missed this thread. You can add me to the list.
I'm shooting an L.C. Smith Baker of Baker Guns, Syracuse short 10. This is one of the models that uses the front trigger to unlock and open the breech. I believe mine is a Quality B and has Damascus barrels.

Thanks Charlie. I believe it was made somewhere between 1878-1880. Serial number is just over 7800 which should put it near that time frame. I acquired it through a fellow hunter safety instructor who had it stowed away without ever firing it. She is in good shape especially considering that she's 140 years old. I sent her off to Kody Kearcher in Oregon for an inspection. Otherwise she hasn't been restored or modified. 32 inch barrels and tips the scales at ten pounds. A joy to shoot but I'm a little slow at cocking those hammers on the flush.

Open the action and cock the hammers.
On the flush simply close the action as you bring the gun up. Of course, some guns don’t allow you to do that. .
