Curtis forend release and Dogs head escutchen Archived Message

I'm looking at a 1914 Specialty grade to purchase. It has a forend with a Curtis push button release and a Dogs head escutchen where the normal latch would be. Does anyone know if Specialty grades were made with this type of forend configuration? Also does the Dogs head escutchen lessen the desirability of a gun as it is my understanding that it is just a plug to cover the hole milled for the typical latch seen on ejector guns.
