WOW! The way your holding the ruler though, it looks a lot closer to a 2 1/2" address to my old eyes.
Is This Barrel address one of a kind.
A couple of week ago i picked up a london shipped saa in 450 boxer sn # 387** shipped to london dec31 1877.that came with the origional bullet mould, marked 450 (B).
I uploaded the picture's for member's to have a look and comment.
Now i have discovered according to Keith Cochron colt peacemaker british model, that i may have something special.
In his book he note's 13 only shipped with the barrel address length of 2.5" in 45boxer. and the earliest one recorded is number #46958. I measured mine and thought it fell into that length,but on closer inspection it has the . after london and is infact 2 5/8" in length.
He goes on to say an unusual length is found on #76236 which has a 2 5/8" address length and may be one of a kind with no known predecdssor.
Please chime in with your comments, thanks.

I think according to the book,its the dot. after london which makes it 2 5/8", and measureing from dot to the start of C thats the measurement. unless im reading wrong the dot after london is what highlights this anomoly.
