If memory serves, serial no. 8 has been seriously refinished and that may account for the lack of upper tang markings. The current owner drags that gun around to gun shows trolling for an offer that he can’t refuse. I’ve seen it in Cody and in Reno several times.

  

It sold at Rock island for $54,656.

  

And that does not mean squat… we all know that RIA attracts more than the usual number of people willing to spend big $$$$ on guns that are not what they are advertised to be.

  

It meant squat to someone!
