While I agree it probably is an OH gun, I believe Curt Johnson would agree uit also COULD have been made in IN or IL, less likely but still possibly in other midwestern states. Nice condition, nice stripe in wood. BUT to what end? I photo'ed several similar guns for the 5 vol set on OH guns but all were signed. That signature takes us somewhere. A late unsigned gun does this site no good! Very early unsigned guns, sure. There are far too many similar arms that are signed to cause me to have any interest whatsoever.
