Mark;
It looks like not only a jewel but one of exceptional beauty with wonderful French walnut and good stock dimensions.
Please post more photos and closeups of the action, barrels and butt stock.
I envy you.
Kindest Regards;

Beautiful Scott. Looks correct to me. Im particularly fond of the oak leaf motif on these higher grade Scotts. Very, very nice gun.

So is there a grade designation for these guns?

Mark;
Let's see a photo of the barrel flats. The barrel proof marks show year 1887 or years earlier.
The star has the number of points that I suspected it would have.

1875, June: "Not for Ball" stamp promulgated.
1878, 23 Feb - W.C. Scott & Sons patent 761 - aka Triplex Action, coil spring back action hammerless lock; incorporates the Crystal Cocking Indicator.
Thus this fine Scott dates between 1878 and 1887 (though It could theoretically be post 1887; There are 1888 guns with "not for ball" proof marks.)

Are you positive that the locks incorporate coil springs? I’ve been into a few of these guns over the years and I’ve never seen one with coil springs in the locks. In my experience, The only coil springs on that entire gun are on the firing pins or “strikers”.

I have a lower grade if this model and I know for sure the main spring is a V spring because I had to make one there are two other flat springs in there also .and as I have stated by before it is a beautifully made gun.
