I am afraid I will have to be the bad guy here. In my opinion the gun is a 1915 army military with a replacement 6" barrel and a reproduction navy rear sight. It was placed into commercial sales after WWI but no later than 1920 as evidenced by the horizontal Crown/N proofs. The un-numbered replacement barrel and force matched navy toggle were installed at some unknown point.
Jerry, I see some roughness but no "terrible spall".
