Lloyd in your first set of 4 pictures, that is not an 1895 gun it is from after 1907. The picture showing the lock plates shows two screws in the left lock plate, that is a Featherweight frame. the picture of the bottom of receiver the through lug is shorter again that of a Featherweight frame.
All Syracuse L.C. Smith's had the squared rectangular lug and a few of the very early Fulton guns in the low 30000 serial numbers. All Syracuse guns had rounded breech balls compared to the Fulton slanted breech balls. The large convex ribs on the Syracuse guns carried over again to the very early Fulton guns and then to some that had the narrow convex ribs. Syracuse guns did not have ejectors. All barrels were different types of Damascus but none that I have seen had Laminate Steel barrels. All stocks were of European walnut. Barrels were all 30 or 32" made in 3 weight, Medium, Heavy and Extra Heavy in 10 and 12 gauge shown in catalogs of that time, but they did make a few 8 gauge hammer and hammerless guns that were not in catalogs.
Houchins did a great job on his book and had a lot of help in doing so. There are mistakes and if you have studied the Syracuse line and the early Fulton line you will be able to pick them up.
Another great book is from Dr. James Stubbendieck our Records keeper, "L.C. Smith Production Records" available through Amazon, he composed a soft cover book covering all the grades of the Fulton line and gives great detail of what was available to each gun, years made, production numbers etc,
