Jacob, I also have a grade 2 lifter in the 13,000 s/n range, and as Mike notes, your gun has what appears to be extra factory engraving on the breech balls and at the top of the metal buttplate. Makes for an interesting and desireable gun, IMHO. Congratulations.

Mark - show us a picture of the left hammer so we can look to see if we have one with the same engraving. Some of us have spare hammers stashed away....

I have measured a lot different loads I use and cut a piece of 1/2 in hard copper pipe, hammer one end flat, solder end. I drill a hole for a leather string, then size the load with a measure, cut and polish the copper. inert and doesn't rust. For shooting not for show.

Sorry Mark I have three right hammers but none are even close to that one.
