islandgun Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) would think 3 1/2 " chambers with a maximum load of 2 1/8 oz lead, be nice to see some more pics Edited June 13, 2021 by islandgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Extracted from Nigel Brown`s book. Hope it helps. It would appear that your gun was made prior to 1883. OB Edited June 14, 2021 by Old Boggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
