Thank you for the link...It helped, I know its a Quality A with no frills at 40.00 back then. You are correct about the pushing the front trigger forwaqrd for the barels to open, The only thing I am really confused about are the 2 date stamps, one is Aug 31 1875 and the other is JA something Y 29th 1878 and then a small + stamp also.Thanks for the help.. I wish I knew how to add a picture..
