Dave,Thank you for the explanation. Page 99 in the TPS states."The new system was based on the Deeley and Edge latch" If King recieved a patent for his new design and we know he did then the mechanism must be different enough. Another thing that I never knew is the the new latch was offered in the 1878 catalog at $5 extra on guns below grade3. The "King" latch became standard in 1880.

Thanks for driving me back to TPS.
