I will get it in the morning. Thanks.

I can find no date code or proofs on this LeMatt. It has a SN of either 600 or 009. Has CL 44 and BLACK POWDER ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF BARREL and NAVY ARMS CO RIDGEFIELD NJ USA on other side. SN is on bottom of frame. Other early LeMatts have it stamped on side of frame. Perhaps Navy Arms can illuminate the issue.

Ok, I appreciate your time. Trying to figure out what date these had the timing issue. I've had two that were off timing and hammer was also hitting too much to the left. I disassembled one and saw no way of correcting it. Both were pietta. Yours looks like the hammer is in the correct position. One of the good ones.
Again, I appreciate your time.

Navy Arms says 1987 production date. Timing is spot on with this one. I have cocked it, but don't want to put a ring on cylinder by doing this too much.
