Grade 3 Setters

[edgarspencer]

Yeah, OK, it's Saturday, but I took these last night.
I just love the setter on the 1880 Grade 3 Lifter. For comparison, I also took a picture of a Grade 3 Hammerless setter, from 50 years into the future

I like those fiddleheads, especially the right side. They almost look three dimensional.

30" 12 gauge, 1 frame. I didn't realize TL hammers were so different from Lifter hammers. Do later. check hook lifters have the TL style hammer, or the ones like those on the early lifters?
