    It seems your photos have vanished; but no I have not seen a Smith gun with intercepting sears. It is obviously a nice custom touch; but I wonder how the additional required inletting would impact a Smith gun's already delicate stock?
    From the second photo it appears someone may be attempting to build a "DeLuxe" grade, judging by the "rope roll" across the top of the frame; but the Parker hinge pin is overkill and in no way resembles anything ever seen on an original Smith gun, which ruins the builders intended curb appeal for me personally.
