The Scott book says that particular "Forend latch was patented in 1873 and used until 1887 on several models, including Premier hammer and hammerless guns".

The Scott book says 4000 of these back-action hammerless guns were made over a 15 year period. It also says 1500 were made in the Premier grade....funny thing find the same action on a Holland and Holland of lesser quality and expect to pay double the money.

Point of interest Holland and Holland had a lot of these made by Scott. They then modified the action, form pull cocking to push cocking, removed the windows and it became the Holland " Climax" more development and the Dominion was born .If you look at picture side by side you can see the family resemblence.
