Two numbers away from Gil's 4987 indicator for 1905, as above. Looks as if you've got as accurate a dating as your going to get Jamie. That was a good era for the gunmakers (and their materials) so if it's been well looked after it should be a good gun.

Edit to add that I found a pinfire with serial no 2446 and several guns in a 15### series, which were probably later, may even have been trade guns (probably W&S looking at the actions) bought in for sale under the Higham name. Toby had a nice A&D that he sold, no 3754 from c.1885
