Well, got my first number searches back. Just as they said, it provides what's only on the ledger line. No interpretation.

No major surprises, except that a 1901 SR was recorded as having pistol grip but not $5 checkering - but it does. A very early 1899 showed an interesting entry that the gun was sold to one company by another. That's interesting. Usually the ledger would only record the company it was shipped to. I wonder if they misinterpreted a return and second sale?

Anyway, here's a sample of what you get. I lettered a 1920 1899A SR which has an intriguing brand/stamp/marking on the side panel (16 Co), and it's confirmed as an SR by the 22" barrel with shotgun buttplate.
