That's now the record for the earliest recurve trigger guard - I never expected that we could push the changeover so far back. The fact that your gun is nickelled is also very interesting as so few of these are known. I have only ever been able to handle in one in 30 years of collecting.

Hello Pete,

Any chance of a picture or two of your plated Warrior as I have never actually seen one with this rare finish.

Hi there; my Warrior is no. 4047 and it has the curved trigger guard.

[Ormicron]

Mine is S no 4549 in .177 the trigger guard does not recurve.

Hi,

Thats really weird as with that relatively high Ser No (4549) your Warrior should definitely have the re curved trigger guard.

Hi,
I have a .22 warrior with recurved trigger guard, serial number 2805, hope this helps with your research,

ATB Bill.

I have two examples. The first, in .177 calibre, is no.4047 and has the semicircular trigger guard; the second, in .22 calibre, is no. 5017 and has the recurved trigger guard.
Very interesting post, this.

My Warrior is ser/num 1943 in .22 I will have to check the trigger guard when I get home as memory fails me on that.

That is a surprisingly high serial number for the semicircular trigger guard, but it fits in with another reported example with the same type trigger guard which has the even higher number 4549. Currently the lowest known serial number with the second version trigger guard is 2065, so I think we can conclude that there was quite a long period of overlap between phasing out the large semicircular guard and introducing the neater recurved type, an overlap covering around 1500 production models.

No 3667 has the curved trigger guard and a .177 barrel.

Just got home and checked mine(see earlier post) ser/num "1943" .22 and it has the later style recurved guard.
