Henry Atkin Sidelever
Here is a Sidelever, sidelock, ejector gun from Henry Atkin, vintage 1894. Its bite on the rear barrel lump was welded and improperly refit, resulting in the bolt binding in the bite and subsequent very sticky operation of the opening lever. It also had a damaged triggerplate screw and needed a complete cleaning. The refitting of the bolt and bite does not lend itself well to photography so I'll just show the triggerplate screw.
