Jim,

Thanks for the input. Neither cylinder appears to have had a scene as best I can tell. You can still see the patent stamp on the cylinder on the gun with light rust. You are correct in that the better looking example does have the cap groove while the other one does not. I had not even noticed this difference!

Fortunately, I'm not really worried about actual "collectors" value with these since they are family pieces. If they end being worth something that would be great. They are nice looking in any event. I am saddened that I did not get a chance to talk about any of the guns my GGF had before he died. Other family members have some including a pair of pearl handled revolvers, Colts also I think.

PS - You had asked for pics of the serial numbers on the bottom so I added them to the simple page I created and linked above. All visible serial numbers match on both guns but I have not broken either of them down at this time. The wedge is very tight on both of them.
