The firearm is a break-action type with a top-lever opening mechanism, twin triggers, and a tang-mounted safety marked ‘SAFE’. The barrel rib is marked ‘E.J. CHURCHILL. (GUN MAKERS) LTD.’ and ‘8. AGAR STREET, STRAND. LONDON.’, with ‘E.J. CHURCHILL’ also present on the receiver. This example is consistent with an ejector model.
