Having extensively studied Scottish firearms, what follows are some observations and musings on the Scottish style in firearms that I believe may be of interest regarding this particular rifle (at least to me they are as a builder of rifles in such style).

As I was reassembling the Alexander Henry Lee, after a thorough cleaning, I noticed the file work and shaping of the trigger guard.

Now, Daniel Fraser was known for the exquisite application of his unique style to the firearms he laid his hands upon. He learned his trade from Alexander Henry. Along these lines, Fraser's treatment of the trigger guard in his magazine rifles is nothing short of pure sex appeal. The English and Scottish gentlemen I know in the gun trade even use a somewhat anatomical term for this treatment - "waisting".

Below is an example of Fraser's file work on a trigger guard:

Now, take a look at the trigger guard of this particular Alexander Henry magazine rifle, and notice a similar application of style. This Alexander Henry magazine rifle doesn't have the filed in shape giving it the appearance of a shotgun type guard that Fraser magazine rifles exhibit, but that there is a similar "waisting":

I find such details of style interesting as I've learned to wield a file and develop the necessary eye for detail to duplicate it. Even more interesting is the fact that Daniel Fraser had already left Henry's by 1894 (The date stamped on the butt socket of this Lee). So, was the apprentice influencing his former gaffor by this date?
