I think Morton’s was only an importer. Lived there from 2000-2005 and there was no store front named Morton’s or FFL I knew of by that name. So maybe he predates 2000. Have you looked at the proof marks to see when the gun was proofed? That could narrow the time frame down a lot. Might be looking at 1970 or 1980’s. 26” barrels would have been more popular in that time frame than later.

Just did a quick search of inactive corporate records. The articles of incorporation became active 12/29/1988 became inactive 11/1/1991. Street address was 156 Trade Street, Lexington, KY. Reading in between the lines they may have been a corp slightly earlier and rolled over into Morton’s Limited at this time. So must be before that ending time frame which tends to fit into the shorter barrel being more in demand. Check with date codes of proof or serial number as well.
