Are the lands pretty narrow compared to the grooves? If so ,its definitely a Douglas.
A Douglas .45 cal barrel is still fully capable of winning any BPCR champouonship in this land if its fitted chambered properly. I have seen way too many Douglas and Green Mountain tubes beat the pants off of Badgers, Kreigers etc to believe otherwise. For that matter, I have seen several factory Pedersoli barrels do the same thing:)
Once they started making their own barrels Wolfgang had to work pretty hard just to match the quality of the Douglas blanks he used early on. He told me his biggest issue wirh Douglas was delivery times and internal dimensions of some if the smaller calibers like the 38s and 40s.
Any " Droege era" Shiloh is a gun built under the watchfull eye of a Master German Tool and Die maker. Wolf was a hell of a machinist.

My LRE is 70xx and was made in the fall of 1985. I believe you have a Saddle rifle model sans the cheek piece. I have one near like it from 1987 time period 79xx 26" std oct barrel in 40-70-2.1" BN. They really had nice wood back then. Your butt plate matches the one on my LRE. My Saddle gun has Shiloh on the receiver and barrel as well as the Ol Reliable tm. Mine shoots well so will yours. goodluck MB
