Its a very nice gun, I love it.

In regards to provinance, and to enlighten myself on the documentation you mentioned. To show true provinance, you need info on the person, info on the gun, a statement from the familiy that he owned it, or a statement or written documentation that he owned it.

In the field of looking up your ancestary (my mind is blank on what it is called), a true historian uses two pieces of evidence to prove each aspect. So, that is what I use for provinance. Sounds like you have a really nice solid piece of history there.
