Thanks for your response.Yes, "Merwin & Bray,Agnts,NewYork". Also,"Ball & Williams". Were the Kentucky's marked "Kentucky" or were they a serial number range? Did the entire run of 15,600 go to the military? Obviously this is a "sporter" version.My G-G-grandfather more that likely purchased this in St. Louis on his way to Calif. in 1868.
