Round cocking bars (distinctly over-engineered) were a feature of early (if not the earliest) Anson and Deeley guns.

I have mainly seen them on single lump top-bite only Westley Richards style guns such as this early Edwinson Green serial number 2701 (pre1881) with patent use number 1907. It has a top safe, and there are no obvious manufacturer’s marks other than Edwinson C. Green on the action sides.

mc, does your early Greener A&D have the same ball fences as mine, rounded down at the front edge to meet the barrel exterior?

In Graham Greener’s book at page 93 he shows a similar 30 Guinea A&D gun with rounded fences (but with no evident safety catch unless it is the same gun shown left hand view at page 95).
