I do not think that this is the same as the gun Rich shows ,only way to be sure is to take the locks out and look .
There were hundreds of patents taken out many of which were never use or used in very small numbers some which never really worked or only provisional patents were taken so it became public property after 3 years so no need to have outlandish mechanisms to do a simple job as there were better ideas to use .
Long story but I had a gun which I am convinced was prototype as I have never seen anything quite like it nor had several other people all experience gunsmiths . It appeared to have been modified several times since it was made [I guess about 1880/85] so it was hard to see what was original and what was not .
In this Pape's case I am guessing that the strikers have been modified or replaced because of problems/weakness with original design .
