first off, i am a new member and have to say, the website is fantastic! awesome info.
i have a model 8 35 cal. i used the website to look up the age. the serial number is 8233. so it looks to be 1908. there are two other marks i cant figure out though. there is a P with a circle around it above the serial number. below the serial number there is a S and below the S another P with a circle around it. this information is all on the bottom of the gun in front of the magazine. there is no checkering on the stock or anywhere else on the gun. also no engraving or detailing in the metal. the rear site has a patent date on it july 3 1902. the barrel has patent info on it but no other markings.
any info other that the date available for this great piece. grade?
thanks
