Catalog No. 18 c. 1921 again listed the "No. 6 Knickerbocker" with the earlier 'V-shaped main springs'." But that picture, allegedly from Catalog No. 18, certainly not from my H & D Folsom Arms Co. Catalogue No. 18, shows a Baker lock -- and calls it the "CRESCENT NEW THREE-PIECE LOCK." In my Catalogue No. 18 the guns from the plant in Norwich are called American Gun Co. and the parts page shows the coil spring hammerless lock -- Dave Last edited by Researcher; 01/15/16 09:22 PM.

The "Crescent New Three-Piece Lock" came from a c. 1925 Crescent listing in a dealer catalog, with this The marketing dept. at Folsom may have been "creative" in using a Baker lock image! To avoid confusion, I deleted the image from the PictureTrail. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
