Not to be picky the that would be the sear pin, the trigger pin is located farther to the rear. Oops! Steve, you got me I made a boo boo on that one. But I think I am correct on the hammer pin.

The Dickson patent of 1887 used an ejector rod that extended to the rear of the action and was caught on a step. When the gun was opened a tumbler would lift the rod off the step where it could fly forward. With this switch to the rear of the action perhaps it's some sort of selector.

The screw has to lock the indicator tightly to the axle. Very similar to the continental indicators often seen. When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)

You are correct, I mis-read the statement by bsteele earlier. That is definitely a cocking indicator. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns

No way for it to indicate that a live shell is in the chamber (loaded), only that the lock is cocked. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.

SKB, Not wishing to be contrarian for The sake of it but I must state that on every Birmingham boxlock I ever worked on the sear pin was always behind (rearmost) of the tumbler (hammer) . The cocking lever being the forward pin. The trigger pin would be inside on the bottom metal. Last edited by Hugh Lomas; 07/19/20 09:09 PM. Hugh Lomas, H.G.Lomas Gunmakers Inc. 920 876 3745
