Hi Ron, Thanks for the info. The Eagle is straight winged and is located about 10 oclock maybe 1/2 inch from the receiver. The serial number (matches gun) is located about 3/4 from the receiver on the bottom of barrel. The "42" in also on the bottom about 1/2 inch from receiver. The gun itself has the crown, crown over M, and crown over M on the left receiver flat and no proofs on the right. Also, has crown on left side of breach block. I don't believe that the barrel and rear toggle were replaced by an individual because the gun is too nice for that to have happened. It wouldn't make sense to lessen the value of a 90% Navy.
