Finally

Finally came into the shop , a ton of grease or cosmoline inside. Seller told me serial number was in the 70k range. It's in the 15,000 range. I guess he couldn't see and thought the 1 was a 7
Would this be 1864 or earlier?

Let me have a look at this. Thank you for providing this information. This one is solid. The only thing I dislike is the broken head on the hinge screw , but it's tight and smooth action is beautiful

I can't wait to try a few rounds through it. I may try finding a few reloadable casings, anyone here have experience in 32rf loadings? I've seen and read quite a bit on it
