I purchased an abused 'Wrist Breaker' (serial #7354) for restoration from a friend yesterday. I reckon the gun dates in late 1893. On the barrel flats there is an engraved text
2 3/4" cases
Inside the diamond stamp there is the "12 C". No nitro proof stamps. I've googled these guns for a while now, and have only seen indications on two and a half inch chambers. Can anyone of you guys tell, whether these guns were manufactured at that time with long chambers? Or have the chambers on this gun been modified at some time later?
Also the striker discs are somehow loose; they are flush with the standing breech but they can also be protruded some 1,5mm ouwards. They are not the typical screw-in discs with wrench holes, but solid ones with only the striker hole in the middle. Is this how they should be?

Sakari
