Could this be a prototype for the T.J.Harrington Gat?

Well Ed, I would say it is a Philips screw, and Andrew Laszlo obviously liked to use them as there is one on this other prototype.




Unfortunately the pictures Robert Beeman sent me were fairly low resolution, so I couldn't make out if it was writing or just scratches on the screw head when I blew the picture up.

The trigger guard on the commercial Hy-Score is machine pressed and has a curved cross section. As far as the prototypes go, the trigger guards look like a quick bending of some strip steel in a vice.

Just goes to show how hard photos can be to interpret sometimes , When you tilt the gun a bit it shows the curve, yet in dead on they look very flat, agree about the quick bending though!

(still think they look toy town though!..check out the raised C/S screw to front).
