Thank you very much for the information. I knew I could find some help here!

The barrel on mine isn't fully octagonal. It's octagonal above the action, but the barrel itself is just round. It's definitely got the small tapered forearm.

It doesn't really matter, because I don't think I'd ever sell it. It was my Grandfather's gun that my father sold when he was younger, only to buy it back when he stumbled across it years later. So it's probably worth more to me than it could ever be worth to anyone else.

But thanks again for the information! I'll have to get in touch with your expert and send him some photos of it to get his thoughts.

Oh I forgot to tell you he's like $15 or $20 and takes 6 weeks...
