There was thread on intercepting safety mechanisms recently. I stripped this Hughes boxlock today and though some may be interested to see the safety sear. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...e=1&theater

This should be no great shakes for an expert...
It's merely the Anson intercepting sear, patented in 1876.
Common stuff on many English boxlocks.

I'm not sure if "intercepting safety" is a proper term for the photo involved. It seems that all safeties are intercepting. Here , on Hollowell's website is a good description of "intercepting sear". Note the pictures attached, too. http://www.hallowellco.com/abbrevia.htm#I

Mr. Hallquist:
I think it more closely follows the 1882 British patent that any other I've seen. Compare the two and the term may be safety scear. Ir that also called the Fly on the sidelock?
