Regarding the release button: The Forehand model Hammerless guns from F&W, Forehand Arms Co., and the early Hopkins & Allen hammerless all used the safety catch that prevented the barrels from dropping clear of the frame if opened with the forend removed. H&A later dropped the feature. I believe the design is accredited to R.Torkelson(employee). Torkelson used a similar system in his 1st and 2nd model Hammerless SxS's.
