Anyway; I found a lot about William Moore but next to nothing about Charles Moore so I thought I would share this oldie. Barrel bears the 77 St. James address so is probably just prior to Woodward's coming on board so Circa 1840/50 (?). Bore is about .70 with eight lands and grooves. The trigger guard seems to bear a bright "oil" finish (?). I have never dismounted it to inspect proof marks, until now. Photos added Barrel channel showing serial number Proof marks Rate of twist appears to be about 1 in 28 inches mint bore Last edited by Larry21556; 06/29/13 05:14 PM. Reason: Add photos

As to the rate of twist i will get out the big bore rod and see if I can figure it out.
