I think those hole are simply plugged hole from a breast drill...remember, Flues had no electricity, no milling machine, no lathe...he carved receivers with a breast drill, cold chisels, and files...I checked my 1910 made Flues sxs and although the receivers are nearly identical. there are no plugs under the firing pins...so I'm assuming those plugged holes are related to the rising bite lock up...the seller has not shown the bites in the retracted position , so I can't say for sure that it's a rising bite or just another snap action (more likely)...the sideways W along with the K are likely the touchmarks of Sam Koch, Flues apprentice who would have been a late teen at the time this gun was made
I too would like a cler description of "banjo work"
