Thanks! Beautiful shotgun! I like a lot german guns and have a Bernhard Merkel Suhl, but the cross bolt is not concealed. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/smwkw63/IMG-20201012-111524533.jpg)

There’s a pin in this knife bolster too and it doesn’t have engraving to help hide it. I know it’s there because 1) I watched Tony put it together and 2) the blade opens and closes. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/64126_600x400.jpg)

Italian gun, featuring a hidden bolt. It was advertised as having that feature. No screw to retain it, not visible from outside the gun. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/64228_600x400.jpg) ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/64229_600x400.jpg) The actual catalog parts list from the gun does not show a cover for the hidden fastener being available for sale, much less actually being there. They do list the cover for the hinge pin, 35 cents got you a new one if the need arose. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/64230_600x400.jpg) I’ve looked with a 10X loupe, can’t see anything that demonstrates there is a hole in the left side to put the pin in. Best, Ted

Thanks for the info and the pictures, Ted!
Is the first time I read Richland trademark, despite in some webs tell that the company imported a variety of Spanish-made shotguns.
Engraving fence is similar to my shotgun.

Prandelli and Gasperini was the builder, Richland imported the guns to the US. The Spanish guns that I have handled by the same importer are very poorly made, the Italian versions, more expensive in all cases, per the catalog, are decent guns, both the SXS and O/U versions.
I’m not saying there isn’t a cap on the left side, but, looking at the catalog, and studying the gun, I can’t find it if it is there. The lack of a screw from the front seems to throw cold water on the notion it is there, as well.
Best,
Ted

How would you get it in there if there is no hole?
Interference fit, tapered plug, polished off.
Out there doing it best I can.

The cross bolt doesn't have to be very long and there could be a milled slot in the frame to slide it in and the top lever would hold it .its magic or aliens that's my guess
