Gentlemen and 'Doubting Thomases"; Please consult your "Bible" Vol. 1, pgs. 112 & 126 for a full explanation of the "Hooked Top Lever". As stated, Parker Brothers had a surplus of hooked top levers and used them on more and more guns including hammerless guns (and may I add 'larger frame' guns as well) so, as I stated before, it isn't an absolute to a specific frame size, but an observation of mine.

Gents, check your hammers I have a couple guns that have the hammer on the right side ground out! but yet they still have "fishtail levers". This work was obviously done at the factory because they are identical in location of the indentation. and several thousand serial numbers apart. I will check further to see the frame size both are 12 ga.
