The safety is in the fire position, look closely above the switch and you can see (F) and (S) in gold lettering.
The through bolt was a nightmare for my stocker. It does have a nut on the end of the through bolt and with the wood twisting as it did, it was a real problem to remove it. When all was said and done, the cast off was reduced from 1 3/16" to 3/8"
Tell me what you want photographed and I will do it.
Also, on the trigger guard on the bottom, it reads " Favereaux Vitre" in gold. What does that mean? The recessed leather strap is spring loaded and fully functional.
One other note, the barrels both have a stylized "F Darne" done in such a way as to imitate his signature.
By the way, this is not a pitch, this is a statement of fact. My stocker is suburb. He has stocked another Darne for me and since I was born and raised in Hawaii...before it became a state, I chose to have it stocked in Koa. So Nice. Thanks for all your comments and statements and a huge thanks to Ted.
