	Stock, triggers and lever by Jos. Singer of Los Angles. Active around 1900. Most of his rifles are on Hi-walls His work is rare. This rifle has a Win. .38-55 barrel

	That’s a really neat high wall. I’ve read of Singer’s work, did he sign his work or how to identify one of his? Singer was credited for the lever, although it’s commonly known as the Pope lever.

	Off the topic, I see you live in E. Tenn. I am up Rt 81 45 miles near Marion VA. Are you a collector or shooter? Go to Etna Green?

	I live south of Greeneville TN in the foothills. I’m a shooter and have not shot at Etna Green. Cheers Richard

	Probably about an hour's drive, or a bit more. You must be close to that bad influence Ron Snover. If you get up this way give me a call. Exit 45 on I-81. Tom

	After seeing your Singer/Pope Hi-wall I thought I should review your book Hartford Popes. On page 280 is a great summary of the Singer rifle and its characteristics. Always refer to your books and Dutchers book to refresh my memory. My memory certainly needs a lot of refreshing these days!

	Beautiful workmanship.

	If you need more than one shot, you need more practice!

	I like the moose engraving in this Singer hiwall.

	Wow! Outstanding! What's on the other side? Any chance of seeing the rest of the wood?

	I'm not a complete idiot, some of my parts are missing.

	Interesting the beautiful lever in the above photo looks to have a patent pending stamp, wonder who held the patent?

	I am doing some on the Pope Jersey City books and I want to include a chapter on Singer as well as Mann and Elliot. All bet one Singer I have seen has been on Hi-walls. Still trying to wrap up the Stevens Pope books.

	Just an educated guess, Joseph Singer applied for the patent!!!

	Here is a Singer Hi-wall with a Schoyen F/M barrel. Not the odd trigger guard and the top quality palm rest.

	Was the lever protrusion below the set trigger meant as a place to rest your trigger finger till ready to shoot??

Not sure what you are referring to. Each digit has a place on the lever. The index finger on the trigger if you have one and the rest line up like little puppies in a row below it. Excellent lever for shooting from the standing position. Can be rather awkward to use if it interferes with the palm rest.

	It almost appears that the piece very close to the tip of the trigger might act as an overtravel stop?

	I have also noticed a thin wire adjacent to the trigger that acts as a rest, and to give more control of the trigger finger. Don't recall if it was on a Singer or Bremer ?
