I was originally posing my question in relation to the A-1 special repro that I am reworking. I was toying with the idea of bending the lever on the gun, but I first wanted to see if it was in the realm of possibility that a fishtail lever was seen after 1904 (the intoduction of the A-1 special grade).
Any changes I made to the metalwork, I wanted to be authentic.
But, I decided against it, something about it just did not set right with me. Though I love fishtail levers, something about the straight lever on that gun just seems cleaner and the better choice.

i think you made a good choice brian....charlie
