These, I assume are the dies used to make the special buttplates. I believe that since Folsom purchased the dies, they realized they could make their own plates. Does your order specify "trap gun butt" as mine (order 14744) does? If not, then Folsom fitted the plates themselves. As you can see, I have found these guns very interesting.

Bill that was a very nice article you wrote. I remember it well.
