Just wondering ......... is there a name for the circular flat areas on the outer part of the fences? I've seen centerfire doubles with protrusions that appear to be a vestige of features from the percussion m/l era doubles, but the shape of those are new to me. Are there blow out plugs in them, hidden in the engraving?

Stan I think the term for those type of fences is serpentine fence or Gardner fences the latter used as Gardner was the surname of the craftsman employed by Greener who carved those fences. I think the circular flat area marks the position of the cross-bolt.
