I just looked at Walt Snyders book and apparently cocking indicators were eliminated for 1935. The early NIDs all had the D&E finger release. After 1935, only ejector guns had the finger release, extractor guns went back to the Baker style forend. Of course, as double guns were phased out, I think the gunmakers tried to use up all kinds of parts so there are probably outliers. My field grade .410
From 1938 has a baker forend and is an extractor gun.
Great pictures and thanks for sharing!!
