Sterlingworth identifaction help

[Researcher]

Thanks for sending the pics. That 16-gauge must have been back to Savage at Chicopee Falls sometime after WW-II for new barrels and forearm. That Deeley latch forearm wood looks like Savage-era A-Grade wood. The engraving on the latch is Sterlingworth. Is the 16-gauge gun extractor or ejectors?
