Is it case colour hardened? If so, probably the old method of taking each finished component & putting it thru the process along with animal hides, hooves, urine: all the stuff of which jello is composed? Nah, I don't have any idea yet. Is there an image on this thread?

Daly Gun Nr. 27:






A.S. on crossbar


Encircled PB

I'm beginning to lean toward the possibility that the Scott serialized versions pre-date the Daly serialized. But still it would put Nr. 27 in the early to mid 1870s.

Kind Regards,
