Parabola: I'm not surprised. There might be some provincial maker (or two) that turned out a few boxlock guns, but by the time that the Anson and Deeley design was "free and available", hammers were well on their way out of fashion. Easier to build on the established patterns by that point anyway (for the few holdouts that still preferred them).

I think the same thing holds true on this side of the pond as well. I believe Ithaca was it here, with perhaps the occasional "hardware store" variants floating around. Smith never made them as a boxlock, nor Parker, and certainly not Fox or Lefever. Crescent perhaps, and possibly a few others in that vein, but not many.

Edit to add: now watch and see what turns up. Likely to be European (& mostly Germanic).
