Craig, Thanks for the reply. I'm fully aware of the cracked wrist and I don't think that will deter me from purchasing the gun. I just want to know if it is really a Pigeon. I was under the impression that this could be determined by serial number utilizing one or the other of the refference books. Another puzzlement: In the Photo Trails section of the LCSCA's web site, if you click on Pre 1913 and scroll down to row eight of the pictures you will see two pictures of a 10 gauge Pigeon. The caption above the second picture states that regular Pigeon Grades were ingraved with a pigeon in flight on one lock plate and a blue rock on the other. The 10 gauge in the picture has a standing pigeon on one side and a flying pigeon on the other. The caption also says that the featherweight models had flying pigeons on both lock plates. The gun in question is a regular weight with what I would describe as flaring pigeons on both plates.
