AS you can clearly see the trigger guard on this one is much longer than the pics you posted and it is the original trigger guard. I have seen pics of a few identical to mine as well and it has two screws to your one. I am guessing due to this gun having been made new with a Prince Of Wales grip as opposed to the standard tight curled pistol grip. It may also explain why the screw goes through the serial#. Maybe the engraving was completed prior to securing the trigger guard to the stock? I am going to contact Chris at Stillwater and ask a few questions. He specializes in restoring antique American SxS's and has a wealth of knowledge.
