Saw this fine gun at Louisville. Studied it and almost bought it-
Glad you have it. T R Hasdell was English trained, worked in Chicago 1870's -80's- known for his choke boring. Made guns on
W C Scott actions. Have a Hammer Gun engaved and signed by
Nimschke. Thought this gun might be so engraved but not sure.
This gun's # 700 mine #689 so in Hasdell # range. On rib
"T R Hasdell Maker Chicago" so Hasdell did something to it-
possbly stocked it. Fully proofed -must weigh over 11lbs.
E-mail me Fax or Address and I'll send some written info.
