    What safety on a 41 Long Branch?

    My 41 Whitworth sporter Long Branch has an unmarked safety thus:



    Is this correct? I have this pic from the net:




    which almost looks like an unmarked safety but hard to tell. Note that it's machined differently than mine and the spring is a different coppery colour on the 41.


    42 LB's have an LB stamp on them and some of them on the spring thus:





    Does anyone have an unscrewed with 41 LB that you can provice a close up pic of the safety from? Perhaps Whitworth swapped the safety on the 41 with a Brit one but not sure.
