Gunman,do you have any idea as to the purpose of the screws next to the hinge pin? I can't remember seeing screws there before on any sxs.

It will be the lifter or cocking limb axel . On a normal side lock this would be under the lock plate ,but with the shorter bar on the lock it is exposed . Many guns off similar type be they coil spring or V spring locks , have them but not with such a large head.

The locks on this gun are exactly the same as the locks on my Lyon and Lyon 12 gauge side by side, right down to the screws just before the hinge pin (posted on an earlier thread).  It, however, never had coil springs. being very much a "V" spring back action lock! And yes the screws are the axles for cocking limbs! Here is a link to the original post: http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=292211#Post292211My Lyon & Lyon comes also with a "greener" cross bolt. For what its worth (more for me than the original poster I suspect - referring to the whole thread) All the best Skeeterbd

Too bad about the nasty looking branding.

Gee I'm sorry j0e,federal law requires the importer's mark and I would like to keep my importer's license. How do you go about it in your shop? Please share your deep personal knowledge with the rest of us.

SKB, I didn´t know you had to do that. Does is apply to all guns shipped into the USA ? i.e. if you imported a second hand Holland from say 1990 or new would you have to stamp the details on the barrels ?, best, Mike

At least Steve has the good sense to mark it so it's unseen. I've seen some that are stamped on the bbls side.....looks crappy!
Best!

Yes, it is required on all imports. I do my best to put it where it is the least objectionable.

Required under the 68 Gun Control Act, I believe.

I took this gun to my local, London trained gunsmith(I have been informed that there are three in my neighborhood) for a strip/clean, some minor repairs and to get a professional opinion. Here is what I learned:
1.Gun was made 1898 or before
2.Re-proof of 2 3/4 inch chamber was done in 2007
3.Gun is tight and on face- safe to shoot and recommends RST or other light 1 oz loads
4.Chokes are improved cylinder/extra full
5.Left barrel wall is thin and prone to denting
6.Back-action sidelocks with leaf springs
7.Knuckle pin is a replacement
Work being done on the gun is to make a new cocking lever pin, raise two small barrel dents, raise dents in stock, re-work/dress up various screws, clean and lube!
