Upon closer inspection of the photos it appears the the serial number 77629 is a forgery,the numbers 7 & 7 appear to be larger and not of the same dies as the 629, this one would have been about 2 months younger than mine and produced in Sept.1897.the carbine I have has a 72 SN and all the numbers are consistent in shape and size,really dodged a bullet on this one
