It has a firing pin retaining screw in the breech ball similar to a Baker, with a Baker appearance
It does not cock with the rotating cocking arms like a Smith
And it has a sideplate, similar to a Lefever
And at least one was manufactured
The gun originally had the Curtis forend push-rod release but at some point the FE was replaced
The mechanism
Interestingly, the barrels carry a 1942 SN. Not marked "Armor" but with "Belgium LLH" for the tube maker.
A.P. Curtis worked for Hunter Arms from 1899 to 1917 and was the plant superintendent 1910 - 1917.
He was General Manager of Hunter Arms Co. from 1940 until his death in 1941 and may very well have replaced the FE and barrels at that time.
I'm sure Buck Hamlin, who is a Smith, Lefever and Baker expert would enjoy looking over the gun, which certainly appears have been used!
