Larry - the Hunter Special was so marked, and the Fulton Special had the birdie
Drew, agree--now that photos of the sides of the receiver are up--that it's not a Hunter Special. But I'm still wondering about the missing screws in the floorplate of the receiver, which are present on every Fulton I've ever seen. This gun doesn't have any. Brophy says very little about the Fulton guns, and the Hunter ad copy he quotes seems to indicate that the Fulton Special is nothing more than a Fulton with a few additional bells and whistles (full PG, engraving, etc). Must be more difference than that if those screws aren't present, because that would indicate that the receivers weren't the same, or were at least modified in the Fulton Special.
