Somewhere in my travels I picked up a brass butt plate stamped with a pattern number 86 in the casting, inside near the toe. It's in my box of extra stuff so I have no idea where it may have come from and an 86 isn't on my Reaves printed list.
I checked the usual sources and no one lists an 86 that I can find, and I would like to know what guns, builder or school the original mold came from since I think it's going on a blank I've had laying around for a while. Anyone familiar with the code?
Thanks,
Ken
