Ted,

I greatly appreciate the information. These are fascinating guns - light, smooth, well designed. I enjoy a few different facets of history, but this is something that I have never come into. My knowledge of old firearms goes back to along the lines of early US single action revolvers and such. I enjoy how pieces like this HAVE a history that many guns do not.

Knowing that that dog head may denote a grade, I'll look around also. If you find anything else, please let me know if you would.

As I said, I greatly appreciate the help.

Best regards,

ADK
