Daryl, Does your gun say Ansell patent or number anywhere on it? Does your forearm have a wedge or deely latch? My gun does not have a serial number which I find a little unusual.

Great gun Daryl. Yours has a little more engraving than mine. I especially love the sliding thumb lever on yours. I am assuming yours has a steel buttplate?

Daryl, I took the locks out today and noticed that each lock had a different patent number 7827 on one lock and 7828 on the other. The words, "joint patent Stanton & Co. can be seen. Do you know anything about Stanton and his patents? [img:left]http:// [/img]

Stanton patented the rebounding lock in 1867. Others may know of additional patents.
Those are pretty locks.

I have not looked for the Stanton patents, but my first guess is that you are seeing patent use numbers, not patent numbers.

I'm no expert but Stanton made fine locks I have a W.C.Scott triple bite with similar locks.

The Ansell patent locking mechanism was also used on the American Arms Co., Fox gun of '78-84 although not marked such.
