Here's one I just committed to purchase. My biggest question here is has the stock been sanded? You can still make out some faint proof Mark's in the stock. Thanks,
I gotta agree. I was thinking the same thing, but was waiting for someone with more knowledge than I to say it.Also, besides not fitting well, the lock plate date of 1860 doesn't quite work for what appears to be an earlier model P53 type ll (Crimean War-era). These things are like a puzzle and all the pieces are not in the box, so to speak. My suspicion is that the lock is not original to the piece at the time it was manufactured.
