Cocking Indicators - Small devices attached to, or in contact with, the internal hammers of a break-open gun and visible from the exterior of the gun to show when each barrel is cocked and when it has been fired. These are usually in the form of protruding pins (bottom two photos) or in the form of engraved or gold inlaid lines on the tumbler pins of a sidelock gun (top).
