Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Austin. Please notice the difference between the profile of Larry's gun and Austin's gun.

Yeah, what are the conclusions about that so far? Are all flattened tangs for safeties? Are all rounded tangs for "no safety"?

Bill, Thanks to Bruce,Larry and Austin we have photos of three distinct top tangs. Bruces C had the safety added and the tang was milled flat to accept it. Larry's gun has the flat tang and I would bet that there is a filled slot under that engraving. Austins gun was built for no safety right from the start. I think the rounded tang is attractive. Just one of those little things Parker Bros. did that unless you put some guns side by side may go unoticed.
