Guys, look at Gunbroker item number 504213891 at pictures 8-9-10. Are the barrels the same or is it just me?

Look like typical Twist barrels to me. My question would be why they have all those FFL requirements on a gun that is an antique? If I was home I'd go look at it.

The FFL requirements might just be boilerplate requirements for all the sellers auctions.

I guess I am missing what the original posters question is?

Look at the radius of the hook and the frame size?

i can see the frame size in the last, and a portion of it in the next to last picture- looks like the same small font number 2 to me

I think what Melvin is saying is look at the barrel hook it looks shorter

It appears to me,in the photo with the small font #2, just behind it is a very shallow stamped # 3 also , I know it is listed as a # 2 Frame but with 6#1 Oz.Barrels ,unless they were going for a specific weight ,I would think this gun may be a # 3 Frame Gun ! I put it on my watch list just to watch what it did also and I questioned the same thing but since I am not a bidder I didn't want to kick tires and contact the seller ! This is just my own opinion !

Look at the hook in picture 8, then picture 10. Am I wrong?

Melvin ,I took an extra look and I have to agree with Researcher ,looks like a typical Twist Pattern to me on both barrels also ! I have to wonder what is going on under the floor plate , it appears to my eye it may be a bit warped or maybe just not positioned correctly and possibly why the floor plate screws are buggered up so badly ???? Of course those are quite repairable for a good smith ,a nice gun otherwise ,I would say ! Good Luckif you decide to bid on her ! Russ

The gun is a 10g and most 10g guns will usually be on a 3 frame. The lug on this one is marked with both a 2 and a 3. Both are different sizes and also of different fonts and struck with different force. The size and font are correct for the 3 stamp, not the 2 stamp. So, this gun is a 3 frame, not a 2 as the seller represents.

Regarding the guns hook and suspicion that the barrels in photo 8 are different than that in photo 10, this is just likely an illusion caused by the angle of the camera. The same subtle markings are visible on the hook in both photos.
