Default Barrel length.

My copy of Price & Fjestad (picture below) shows to expect 30 inch barrels.

At Page 206 the entry is: 49877 D3 T 0 C 12 30

A letter from our Researcher based on factory records is the strongest confirmation I know of for how they left the factory (when records are available, as for your example).

Scott, please post pictures of the muzzles and the top rib at the muzzle.

Looking at your picture of the muzzle, the barrels don’t appear to have been cut. That’s nice old hammer gun.

First of all, thank you to everyone for all the info so far. If I can convince him to sell to me, the first thing I will do is get the letter from the researcher. If he won't sell it, I am still going to beg him to get the letter. Sorry for the gap in replying, we don't winter very well here in central Texas and its been a rough week. Finally got some pictures out in the sunlight and the Damascus shows much better. When I initially saw the pictures he had sent me asking about this, I told him my best guess as to value was going to be between $2K-$6K depending on overall condition. Any of you have a better idea of real value on it?
