Gunman, thank you. About what I might have guessed. I wondered about a gun in a recent auction that was rebarreled by Boss, although the actual gun was a lesser name. Your Purdey/Woodward example is interesting.

Cadet, the breechball or fence treatment common on Woodwards shows up in Smallbore's pictures here. http://linktosite.co.uk/news/guns-arriving

It also shows up on Jeffery guns as I show above. I have heard it called Castelated [sp?] fences or Claw fences. Imagin a claw reaching around the breech ball or a castle enveloping the breech ball.
