Thanks Map for the opinion and link,appreciate it!!rene those are very nice,thanks for showing them!Grips look the same,but yours have a better looking brass guard ,this later one they went to iron sounds like,they needed the brass for other more important things ,like to find an example like yours.Hope you are doing well,still would like to visit there someday.
