Ted, I agree with your praise of the Webley & Scott Model 400, and of the screw grip design--which was actually a Webley patent several years before the merger with Scott. There are both sidelock and boxlock screw grips. That design obviously requires some sort of rib extension/3rd fastener, and in quite a few examples it is a dolls head. I guess I've never been overly bothered by a dolls head getting in the way.

Ron Forsyth did an excellent article ("The Ubiquitous Screw Grip") for Shooting Sportsman (Sept/Oct 02).
