by serial number - that is a very early Sterlingworth- 1910 - first year's production

it should be "pin" gun- does the action look like this?

[M_kats28]

Yup action looks like that. Action is in about the same condition as that pic posted

That early of a gun should read "The Sterlingworth Co." About 3000 were made. But it would be interesting if this gun has a rounded front side panel on the frame or the later pointed profile.
