Oyeboten. That is similar to mine except mine has plated trigger guard, hammer and barrel release thingy. Also, I have one small area at the end of the barrel where the finish has burned otherwise its nearly a perfect finish. Now that you mention it, I do see the indexing notch difference and have experienced some of the pecularities you described. The IJ in parfticular seems to be a superior weapon. You aren't taking anything away from the Thames, just speaking the truth. The Thames history is extremely sketchy. As best as I can ascertain, they farmed out their entire production (1905-1910) to H&R (most likely) or Hopkins & Allen (least likely). I have it now, and it works, so I'll use it for now. If it weren't in such good shape I'd use my .45 auto until I could find something physically smaller. I am in no hurry though. Not much crime way up here and I probably won't travel anymore until spring.
Thank you for the continuious information. Semper Fi, Clyde
P.S. That was good grouping for a first effort. Looks like you were working them in.
