I also picked this up. I had one years ago 30+ and they were hard to find then.
This one has some nice remaining paint left on it. It comes apart.
It is unfortunately missing the lever, if any one has one, maybe another bit
(striker is present, no spring and something that the lever catches on?) .
But I have to look into these agian. It had a 12 gauge shot shell casing in it, is this
the correct kind ? Comments and help welcome.
It cost $250 cdn = 140 pounds, fair I hope, being a bit out of touch with these.

Very nice, i am sure you are bound to find a lever although there are a lot of relics about.
 
Does any one have a source for a lever for this , if so get in touch.
I have been offered one here for $100 = 56 pounds, I'm unsure if
I was being helped or taken advantage of ?
 
Santa Klaus was good this year, or rather I must have been :xd:.
Here it is all complete with original lever and bits ~
(all in 13 days :tinysmile_fatgrin_t)

A Merry Christmas to all members and their families ,
Hoping for all a Great and Successful New year ~

( My tree is a sad thing, but the Christmas Stegosaur helps lift the occasion ~)
