I did find that post there was a couple of pictures shown I guess a better question would have been which is the higher grade WJ Jeffery a bow back or a tradional A&D BLE? I have been able to view 1 gun that has had a stock extension fitted I would guess an early 1900's gun (I'm waiting on the book london gunmakers to arrive so I can date it)

smlekid, I have a copy of London Gunmakers if I can assist you.

There is a good photo of a Leonard bow back in the book Birmingham Gunmakers by Douglas tate on page 86 if you can source a copy. Lagopus.....
