The trigger guard tang is securely fitted at both the connecting points (front and back) of the frame of the gun. The gun is currently in the hands of a gun dealer awaiting my permit to acquire from the police before I can pick it up. This is a requirement here in Australia. Once I obtain the permit, I can photo the underside of the gun and post it on this site. A picture tells a 000' words! Thanks to all for your help and advice.
