	Here are a couple more pictures I took yesterday. Sorry in advance for the size. I don’t know how to reduce them.

	While you are taking pictures, please make some measurements. Action thickness, somewhere between the slab sides. Then a measurement from the action face to the point where the upper tang meets the rear of the action. Also please measure the thickness of the loop lever. And the thickness (width) of the hammer. And maybe the spacing of the screws that hold the block in place. I think some measurements will tell us whether we are looking at a modified 44 or a Favorite or whether this is something else entirely. I don't have a Favorite to measure, but I will measure a Stevens 44 action today.

	The hand-stamped numbers 619740 on the side must mean something. I have 3 Stevens with 44 actions. All have 5-digit SNs. I don't know about Favorites. Any idea if they might be the part of the SSN or phone number of the guy who died? Would the widow know if her late husband was the maker?

I may reach out to my buddy at the gun store and see if he’ll give me the ladies number. Based on the conversation I had with him previously she did not know much about the guns. Another interesting thing, is all of the black powder pistols are also unmarked. I believe these were kit guns so not sure if they were supposed to be marked. That being said, they also don’t seem to be nearly the quality/fit and finish.
