My 1914 Lithgow has "2nd MD" stamped on the knox. Any ideas what this is?

How about some pic's? S/N and barrel date?

[Homer]

Yes I would appreciate seeing it as well if you have the time.

[newcastle]

I'll see what I can do over the next couple of nights.

What s it like? Is it a good one?

[newcastle]

It is is good condition overall. "Regulated by Fultons" stamped atop the barrel, still has cutoff. However the charger bridge is broken off the main body on the left side so i cannot use charger clips to reload it. it also is not fabulously accurate and i wonder if these two facts are linked as the charger bridge would stiffen the action would it not? I have wondered if I could get it refixed but have NO idea how i or anyone would do this. You'll see when get pics.

the charger bridge is broken off

Or was it removed by some well meaning sod? We've seen this before too.

That's a shame. Always hoping for something special.
