Oh my. You guys have surpassed my very optimistic hope that I could learn just a little about grandpa’s gun! Again, many thanks!

An aside is that I’m pretty sure grandpa got this one from his brother, a gun collector in Chicago area. And because I have the gun in my hand, I would be shocked if the finish t’wernt original (to say nothing of defending my grandpa’s stewardship of ‘my’ favorite gun).

Ok, I reckon I need to buy a printer and get the request off to the antique gun whisperer, Roy Jinks.

Warm regards,
Pam
