M W Reynolds has a very nice side-lever cocking Lancaster on his WS for sale. Nice photos of a back action. I searched the SN and was told by the current owners of the Lancaster records that it was purchased by a Lord Arbuthnot (?) mid-19th-century. Way beyond my means but I like to look and hope someday.
Vintage Doubles has mutton-chop lock Damascus on his WS. Looks nice and is a bit more reasonable, but still a " bridge to far."
I did not know they had A and B grade side locks I purchased a reproduction catalogue from Cornel but don' t remember seeing different grades on SLEs. I,ll have to go back and look again.
