Until recently, I was only aware of one Hammerless model SxS produced by W.H. Davenport. I have located a hammerless version similar to the early Hammer model that has the hammer spurs protruding through the top of the frame. What would be the years of mfg. for this model. I do not have a picture hosting site but can email pictures if someone here can post them. Thank you.

Davenport made a 'Nitro Hunter' hammer single for Belknap Hdw., Louisville



John's hammerless double (first one I've seen)





Applied Patent dates. The Aug. 14, 00 was also applied to the hammer singles

Davenport Nitro Hunter Hammer Double with the Patent Take Down Key

That is a neat old gun. My only Davenport was a single barrel 8ga. What a cannon that would have been as a double!!
