Also there are Forum & S&WCA Members in Australia that have these guns in their collections and have apparently satisfied their law enforcement requirements regarding the Safety H.hammerless models. Also, the Australian Arms Auction in Melbourne sells the SH Models, w/o a problem, so they may know how to prove the legality to the authorities. Ed.
Ed; this is GOLD!!! Better than what I asked for....now, to find a copy of that Flyer and some way to verify the Date....

i'm thinking maybe a new thread now; specifically to find a copy...

Thanks heaps man, this is exactly what I need!
