Buy-Sell-Trade Need 1881 block

[daneal]

I just acquired a very nice 1881 forager, SN 69. (Maybe I should have bought the SN 69 50/70 that I spotted on GB)
Anyhow, the only incorrect part is the 1873 low arch breech block. On the slim chance that someone out there has a loose 1881 block, HELP!!!!

That's likely gonna be a toughie. As an aside, 69 is one of our listed guns. Dick Branum noted it as being for sale in Shotgun News in February 1970. Is there a visible cartouche? If so, I'll update the registry, which presently shows "???".

No side cartouche but barely discernable "P". Everything else good; smooth brown patina, decent bore, ramrod hole filler tight and smooth, 2-click tumbler, smooth trigger, no "1873" on lockplate, no swivel on bow. Just need the darned 1881 breechblock!
