Parker Bros. figured that out and on later guns filed notches into the extractor so the strikers wouldn't hang up.

PHEASANTS ON LIFTER?
These birds look quite pheasant like; the left bird has a ring about its neck.
This is the left lock on a 9 pound, 10 gauge, check hook lifter, s/n 24590. It appears to be quite extensively engraved for a grade 2. It would be interesting to see some additional grade 2 guns in this serial range. Best, Austin |

That is one beautiful Grade 2 Austin. Is that the one that hangs under your mantle?

Pheasant?
Here is an enlarged view of the "cock" . Amazing how an engraver can turn scratches into form. Note also the guide lines for Parker Bros
The "fireplace gun" this year is a D top action. Best Austin |

I'm always amazed at the work of an engraver, no matter how simple or elaborate it is the "scratches" always "turn to form".
