Wonderful detail Tom, it's greatly appreciated.
Here we are all tied up with barrel pattern and metal finish, and everyone forgot about the second question. I'll try to answer it, but all my knowledge (as usual) is second-hand.
It's my understanding that the Hollenbeck/Syracuse boxlock action was a new design, one by Hollenbeck himself. As I recall from seeing one of the old ads, it was marketed as having fewer parts, therefore being a stronger and more reliable action.
