Gents,
A contractor doing some work on our house brought me a double he acquired a few years ago. In referencing my books there's no way it was actually made by the original (pre-Winchester) company of that name.
In searching the forum I found this old thread...http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=277522
But nothing certain came from that, so I wonder if there are any updated insights. I noticed right off the bat that the frame does indeed look like an SAC gun, but as TopGun pointed out on the other thread, the lug is narrower on this one. I was also aware of the Baker C grade guns, but have never seen one, and this gun doesn't say Baker (or Fulsom, for that matter) anywhere.
It has no proof marks, nor any ID of the barrel type (I would guess Twist, but there's some variances in there that look different).
Lastly, just as the OP in the other thread noted, it appears to be etched rather than engraved. I say this primarily because of how shallow the cuts are.
OK, so all that said, does anyone know who made this gun?
Many thx for input. Pics below.
