    Cartouche

    Could this be a legitimate cartouche?

    Absolutely NOT! Period. End of report.

    (1) ESA in small oval, no date
    (2) ESA in large ellipse, with date, 1877, 1878, 1879 (rare) known
    (3) SWP in large rectangle, 1879 (rare)-1893 (1894?) known

    That one is either totally fake (Ebay stamp renter/seller a**hole) or, someone has molested SWP/1886.

      This rifle is currently on Gunbroker . The guy who has it for sale seems like a reasonable fellow though in talking with him about another gun he had for sale he does sell a range of guns that he may not be that knowledgeable about.
