Jim, you're amazing.

I'm going to get out a magnifying glass and take a look at the date again. It's sometimes easier to look verify a rusted over number than try to determine what it is.

1864 means the gun turns 150 years old in two years. That's pretty incredible. I'm going to try to get some better pictures of it tonight, and start on a new thread on rust removal.

Thanks so much!
