The pin in the extreme front of the frame is for the cocking arms. Flues don't use them,,Nitro Specials/WesternArms do,,(as do NID's.)

Well, I sure stand corrected. Kutter and Chuck have it right. No pin for cocking levers on a Flues but it's there on the later guns. Should have, as I usually do, checked Walt's book before I jumped in. Sorry I added to the confusion.

My first clue was the distinctive pointer roll mark, then the sculpting of the frame, followed by the lack of a tang on the triggerguard and then the extra pin. A fun 'guess who'
