Indeed, thank you DCWilson for taking the time and trouble to show these.

Was there any difference in this part of the Mechanism, from the 1899 to the 1902 first change, as seen in your next-to-last image?

While I knew of the presence of the second, smaller leaf Spring on the 1899 and 1902 Models, I have never removed the Side Plate to look and see the details.

Seems quite elegent all in all.


What are the plugs or Rivets seen in the Hammer body of the Lady Smith, and, of the 1902 1st change 'M&P'?
