King's Parent that included the recessed hinge-pin feature had run its course when Ansley H. Fox used it on his Fox Gun Co., Balto., MD., U.S.A. guns in 1898 and 99 --
and the Philadelphia Arms Co. Fox doubles 1902-06 -- The recessed hinge-pin Sterlingworths were 1910 -- to 1913 -- Some of those early Lefever hammer guns with the recessed hinge-pins might have infringed a bit!! Or, maybe they are where King got the idea!! |

I believe my gh 59374 made in 1890 has recessed hinge pin. It is also the single piece pin. Pics in general forum.

Gary, is that an S between the upper and lower crescents? Whatever is stamped there, is the barrel steel designation stamp. Gary, please show the other side of the frame. A lot of folks don't know that the hole in the frame for the hinge pin is notched and the pin has a tab that fits in the notch to prevent the pin from rotating. |
