That’s a wonderful TL and one with lots of “experience” yet unabused! It’s not only special because of the low number but also because it’s entirely original, that’s rare in itself!

The early barrel rollmark is a neat feature and only seen on pretty low numbered TLs. I’ve seen several under 1500 that already have the ‘SPECIAL’ added. Someday we’ll pin it down.

Another very early feature is a 4 screw frame like the early K frames. Does yours have the trigger guard screw? We’ll pin that one down as well but that’s also only very early TLs.

The stocks are the correct vintage and highly likely original. They are included in the seven TL serial # locations so you can verify it.
Back side of right stock penciled vertically near the back strap. Recognize the # is over 100 years old so magnification, bright sun light, and an attitude that it is there are a must!
