Mike, With Smiths we have a saying--- "Never say never". I should have added that, on pre-13 small-gauge Smiths between 1907 and 1912 built on "Featherweight" frames, the top tang is one piece as opposed to the two-piece tang you pictured. Several of us attending the Southern this past weekend agreed that we had never examined a pre-13 12 gauge built on a "Featherweight" frame, nor one with a one-piece top tang. Now-- watch--- someone will apply the "never say-never" adage !
