Dan, I do have this serial number recorded, unfortunately I did not put from who and from now on I will do so for reference sake. If as stated with steel barrels this is very early and I do believe the records show 1898 as the start. Yours should be a 5 pin bar action lock with the Type I hammer (high) and should have 1896 stamped on lock below L.C. Smith.
