I would have to dig, but I believe that is some variant of the novel addition by Frederick J. Abby which found protection under U.S. of A. Patent Nr. 114,081 of 1871. I think even Greener commented that Rigby adopted and improved the contrivance or George Thackeray Abbey's contribution which found protection under U.S. of A. Patent Nr. 87,814 of 1869?

Per the website, are we sure that the adornment is that of Kornbrath? With the menacing muzzle / crosshatching of the muzzle, I'd say that that adornment points to a mechanic in Suhl?
