I will start with this long post by saying I passed on this gun which is featured on page 171 of Buxton Vol. 1, it has a picture of the pistol on page 221 serial number 04119. (Experimental take down/cam face. 3rd variation 0 series) It was sold to another collector when I passed on it. My reason for passing is my own. I believe the gun is interesting for what it is, the only one reported.

This is a photo of the left side, notice the take down lever is missing and the experimental take down/cam in place.

The new push through take down had a hole cut in the frame with an extra groove cut on the locking block to make the take down device work.
