Rolling block barrel stamp

Post by chudderfish »

I have what i believe is a rolling block two and on the under side of the octagon barrel is 32 gfw. Any idea what the gfw means?

Are you certain it's "GFW" and not "CFW"? It may possibly be .32-20 Winchester, which occasionally got marked CFW for centerfire Winchester.
Check to see if it's a CF firing pin, and do a chamber cast to determine the caliber for sure.
