A Unique Martini

[Aughnanure]

I was just having a browse on Google and thought of looking for anything on the late Alvin Linden, a great US stockmaker of years gone bye.

I chanced upon this :

I recommend a look, specifically for this very distintive Martini, which was probably BP, and also for the other work shewn.

It seems more like a Siwnburn or Zeller variant - those had V-springs and Hammers (even if the 'normal' Swinburn had an internal hammer). Cannot say I like the lever design though - looks a bit like a squashed winchester '94 lever. But of course, if someone would offer it to me, I wouldn't turn it down...
