Well, I haven't left yet. I knew I'd seen an "F" somewhere.
www.doublegun.com/waltschiessl.html
"L.C. smith sold the company to John Hunter and Family in 1888. The baker 3 BRL. Guns were in grade quality 1 thru 5 and the double brl. Guns qualities A thru F – both were hammer guns the L.C. smith Syracuse guns were AA-A-B-C-D-E-F Hammer guns. The hammerless qualities 2 thru 7-1886-1888."
Slowly but surely.
I'm interested in the pictures, but let's leave that for later. Just taking a stab in the dark, is there any gold at all on this gun?
