Good morning Don, that CE sans safety and with name on the trigger guard bow, was discussed quite a bit on the Members Forum. Most posters came to the same conclusion. That was a nice find on the consecutive ejector Pin guns! Frank Silvers

Re: What are the odds? Part Deux...
Made me think of a gun, in my safe I call Humpty Dumpty. I was at a gun show and noticed a Sterlingworth reciever, forend, and barrels on a table. There was no stock and no triggerplate or triggers. The barrels were in good shape and I traded a gun I had only a little money in for them.
A little later I was talking to a friend who was a gun smith about fitting the barrels to another gun. He noted I had most of the gun and said he thought he had a Fox triggerplate. He'd bought a cigar box of parts for $75 earlier in the day and when we looked for the trigger plate, he found it and placed it on my reciever. It dropped in, a perfect fit. We checked the serial numbers and they matched.
Aparently, whoever sold the gun to the first guy didn't know he had the other parts for it. I paid $75 for the plate and triggers and restocked the gun.
