Default 1895 GH with ejectors

I picked up this 1 1/2 frame GH 12 with 30" damascus barrels last weekend. She's pretty well worn, but the bores are excellent and I found the after market ejectors interesting. When I saw the 83105 serial number placing the build date as 1895 and the odd ejectors I bought it.
It reminded me of a thread from earlier this year on a BH 12 with after market ejectors. It generated some good comments and opinions on who might have done the conversion.

In post 18 of the thread Researcher posted some great info, pictures, and copies of ads from Moran & Wolfersperger in Chicago. They look a bit like this one. What do you experts think? Are there a lot of these aftermarket ejectors out there?
Just wanted to add that the small pin just in front of the hinge pin goes through to the other side. Also, the right ejector works fine, the left fires but doesn't kick the shell out. It needs a good cleaning but I haven't got to it yet. Any other pics you'd like to see?

The slots milled in the front of your frame --

and the pin --

look to be typical Moran & Wolfersberger.

However, your ejector hammers in the forearm iron look different than the other M & W ejectors I've recorded.

Wonder if the difference is a time period thing as to when they were done?

The gun in question would appear to have flat springs by the way the ejector hammers pivot back. The example dave posted a photo of look to be coil spring driven.
