Dustin,
In the first series of photos a two piece top lever with the word "patent" engraved in the outer piece is clearly shown. I know Scott later made up guns on the screw grip action without the screw grip feature, but have you ever seen that top lever arrangement and the "patent" engraved on the outer piece on a gun not built by Scott? I do not recall ever encountering one myself.
