P.S.

Does anybody know the patent date for the detachable barrel?

The patent for the lugged detachable barrel (#9711) is from 1894.

Very nice rifle Curl!




Thank you for the reference. You are correct. Here is the patent entry:



I had assumed the reference to "No. 9711" on the side of the receiver was a patent use number, but it refers to the patent itself.

Thanks to all for your kind comments on my new acquisition.
