Hi Phil,
Thanks for those photos. So it appears Smith made the sliding safety bolt spring and bridle from the same piece. Fascinating.

Dave re bridle to bolt in one, The photo is deceptive the spring like the bolt is not connected the bolt spring lays flat over the scear spring held by same pin or screw as wed'e call it today its sits neatly inside the scear springs upper leaf and a protruding lump rides over the bolt so it stays one side or the other as wanted . Regards Rudyard
 
Hi Rudyard,
Yes, I understand the design. I built bolted locks.

It just looks like the flat spring for the safety bolt is connected to the bridle in the photo. Maybe they are separate as I would expect but I cannot tell in the photo.

Hi Phil,
Yes it does. The triangular flap that fits into the bend of the sear spring is a spring. It rubs against a nub on the safety bolt that goes into the tumbler and locks it forward (safety) or backward (safety off).

Yes, you are correct about yours, but the Smith just has the bridle fitted into the spring to make things look cleaner, so no spring.

The Jones pair I posted does have the spring plate.
