Thanks for looking and your comments. I am new to this and don't know what accepted practices are. By x'g out the last two digits I was just following what I had seen others doing. Also, I was worried that somebody might deface a good gun to make it appear to be the one I am looking for. I figured that somebody with an 1895 with those first two #'s would at least think about contacting me. I am hopeful that I can find it, but know the chances are slim. Thanks again.
