Does Joe's lock 254 indicate this?

Would it have been serial #1 once they stopped using Scott locks?

Ken, the number on the lockplates is 251, not 254. It is just the last three digits of the serial number 15251. Incidently, even the iron buttplate on mine has the same serial number. Does yours?

Also, my barrels were provisionally proofed in Birmingham but stitched together somewhere else. And the ribs are brazed on!

It is a quail shooting gun! Original 28" barrels and tall hammers set close together allow me to cock both at the same time.
