  I misspoke when I said it's a "one piece extractor". It's the same as all original #3 two piece extractors. I was thinking about the square sliding extractor used on the 1885's and wishing it had that type of two piece extractor.
My friend Fred took a vacation every year for many years to either Shiloh or Cody to buy a new Sharps, or Ballard. I sold his collection after his passing and kept the Schoyen Ballard .22LR with match chamber. It is exactly as ordered new. If I recall he picked it up in 2002 and was the finest of all his Cody built Ballard rifles in his collection.
