Lancaster- your Husky's are beautiful. How about trading hammers? - HA!

My gun has a replacement on the right side that isn't perfectly matching the left hammer - close by no cigar. There is no casehardnening on the locks or action that I noticed - I'll have a closer look. My gun has been used and carried a lot - wonder what it's killed? As you can see, the varnish is worn mostly off the stock. Just looking at yours puts mine much earlier, I think- just before 1900's maybe? - look at the difference in sights, but then, perhaps mine is the way it is to allow for shooting the shot barrel without obstruction? The very widely spread and tall V is not needed - only 5/32" height is needed for a zero within a ball's range. I have a sterling silver turtle sight I might solder on the front, just because. The 'feet' of the turtle would wrapp the corners of the rib. Kinda cool. The blade would work for RB's and I don't even see the end of the barrel when shooting pellets - point and shoot - whap!
The premiminary test showed enough promise to make the gun worth restoring somewhat. I'll do the stock, and maybe polish the tubes - maybe get my bro to rust-blue them. He's got the boiling tank now and has been browning muzzleloading barrels for almost 40 years. Initial test with rust-bluing have given perfect results.
