Thanks for getting back to me.Yes, you insert a finger lift and pull off the forearm.Doll's head ,yes.Gun is plain with no engraving.The tip of the forearm is rounded.Barrels are steel and so is the buttplate.

Thank you so much for all your help,I am now even more pleased with my finding of this gun.I noticed your name Chas,would that be short for Charles Semmer?
