	Picked this finger lever up on eBay. It was listed as a Winchester 1885 Lever but is different from any that I have seen. The nose is not the same as my flat spring ones and as shown overlayed on a standard lever it would not close all the way. Thanks Jack

	Jack that one is very similar to the casting that I gifted to Vall / Marlinguy for one of his Ballard restoration's.

	JerryH might be right as it is also very similar to my Model J FBW's three finger Pope lever.

	Definitely not a Ballard, and I'm not guessing on the FBW Model J. About 99% sure as I've see the one you have JLouis. The cut-out for the extractor is the giveaway. JerryH

	I thought Ballard as well due to the extractor cut out but not even close to fitting. The seller advertises that he will refund for any reason. I suppose I could see if anyone here would be interested in a model J lever before I request a refund. Thanks Jack
