Regarding the internal mechanisms, all grades are just works of art in addition to being ingenious designs. It maybe semantics, and I may have it incorrect, but I thought the lower catch bar to be the intercepting scear, which is released 1st and then the overhanging scear to release the hammer. In addition to the safety aspect when dropped, a boxlock possessing the upper and lower scears, if in proper working order, all but guarantees that the possiblity of doubling is negated.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Steve, the barrels on this gun are nowhere nere as nice as the ones on Bob's gun. These barrels are Krupp steel because the gun is circa 1907. They are very nice however. They had a slight amount of pitting that I removed with the Sunnen hone. They cleaned up with someting less than .002 of metal removal and look like mirrors inside. I still have .034 of minimum wall thickness so they should be ok for anything that I want to use in a 6lb 5oz shotgun. I will be rebluing the barrels this spring but that is all I plan to do for restoration on the old girl.
Raimey, you may be correct about the sears, both sear tails appear to move at the same time. The inside sear does have a much heavier spring than the hanging sear.

Steve, to assist Doug with the answer to your question, there are no barrels like the barrels on Doug's ex-Lindner. Doug could probably write a book about those barrels as could I. I owned the gun and found the barrels to be like none I had seen before. Doug has pictured the ex-Lindner many times on the internet, but has never fully explained the barrels. Maybe he would give it a try. Or maybe the new owner would do it for us.

The first set pictured are the deeply etched bird barrels which, when mounted on the gun, make a short and lively bird gun. The second pair pictured are the wildfowl or pigeon barrels, not etched, very heavy, larger in diameter at the breech than the breech balls, and engraved along the surface that protrudes from the balls. Both are beautiful but the etched barrel are just outstanding.
