Thank you all. Toby: As I suspected, Evans didn't make his own gun but bought them in. The one I'm looking at is a better-made box lock about seventy percent engraved, Webley screw grip, double underlug, dolls head extension, with intercepting safety sears, disc set strikers, chambered for 2 1/2" shells. After a bit of cleanup, I'm looking forward to taking it afield.

The only constant in life is change.
