An odd offset of the top screw (wrist pin?) and a Greener crossbolt, not what I'd expect to see in a such a light gun.

Decent wood and leather pad.

Don't know if Newnham (from Portsmouth?) was known for "lightweight" guns, but he was involved in litigation for a barrel burst in the 1930s. A barrel obstruction was found to be the cause.

The weather here for the past few days has been stunning, which makes doing this pretty easy today.
