Thank you Mr. Bishop for your prompt and experienced reply. Due to the age of this gun would you agree that a research letter might not be helpful in determining any additional information?

Frank, may we see a picture of the checkering style of the forend please? That would help greatly in determining the dollar grade.
It obviously has non-rebounding hammers as depicted by the hammers being in the "half-cock" position away from the strikers. Is the lifter pin at the top of the frame still operational? Some were non-operational just prior to their being discontinued. Dean |

Dean, hear are some pics you requested, plus a few more. I'm not familiar with the "lifter pin" you asked about, but I don't think I have it.
Thanks |

Thanks Frank. The three-point checkering pattern on the forend is believed to be an indication that it is the pre-courser to the Grade 2 and yours has that pattern.

When the lifter is fully depressed does the round pin in the top of the frame protrude?

Frank,
It's always nice to have an official PGCA letter for a gun. In your case, what you would be getting is basic build information plus patterning data. |

There appears to be a round pin between the firing pin breeches but no, it does not lift.

Thanks Larry, yours is one of those that were made non-functional. Later frames didn't have that feature at all due to a design change.
