More on Bayard...

Thad Scott has this "Demi-block" 3 inch magnum boxlock with cocking indicators for sale.


This gun can be found in several catalogs of the period as pictured below...





The problem is, that in most catalogs Bayards don't have the stock crossbolt that we (almost always) associate with a makeshift stock repair...yet in other catalogs this appears to be a common trait in Bayard boxlocks...
