Jim, you forget that JP Sauer and Lindner boxlocks also frequently incorporated the intercepting sear. I see no reason not to consider the modification of the Lefever to incorporate additional safety feature of hammer block safety and/or intercepting sears. The addition will not visually change the gun and making it better (safer) with the hindsight of a hundred years would seem prudent. We are going to have greatly improved metallurgy and machine work in the gun so it will not be an exact copy in that sense anyway.
