When did it say he invented it?

Westley Richards used a toplever in their patent of 1858 for pinfires. It was part of their sliding bolt, doll's head locking system.

I'm not sure how the Scott spindle and Purdey bolt got together. I know Purdey was using their bolt with their first-patent thumbhole actions, so around 1865-66.
