Hi Mike and Russel, I assume that there was a transition period between roughly 1885-1895 where Scott guns came in an amazing variety of shapes, sizes,models, and options. The gun below is circa 1888 and as you can see has back action,bar-shaped locks,
crystal indicators,Lever-grip third bite,ejectors, and damascus barrels.I use it regularly for sporting clays and waterfowl.


Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
