Dave,

I have Davenport sideplated boxlock, ser# 5. It is only stamped "PATENT APPLIED FOR". This is the action shown above with the red background. It is without barrels or wood. The internals are different from the H&A gun. I have not had one of the IJ guns apart to compare them. Davenport was the Superintendent at H&A if I am correct? There is definately common ground if we can find it.

What year is the ad copy from?

John
