I have a feeling your 347 might be pre 1977 before they bought out Sheridan and started using their valves. The wood is very pretty and they got plainer as time went on also you said the Sheridan inlet carrier didn't work in yours.
You are right!
Just looked it up.
Made in St Louis.
SN 210254.
According to the John Groenewoldt's info, my 347 was made in 1974.
