If a guy could afford a reversed bolt don't you think he could afford reversed triggers and chokes ?

I'm hoping someone can enlight'n us on Jims gun.
Is it a Perkes bar action a Rogers or a Southgate ?

The serial number on Jims gun shows a date of 1898. The Scott book said the Perkes action was superceded by the Rogers Action in 1897 but also says the Rogers was used in conjuction with The Southgate Ejector pattern pattened in 1893.

The book says the Perkes is the identified by the presence of two screws on the watertable that retain the cocking rods.
