Surely you misunderstand my intentions my friend - I am not on a quest to make myself feel better in this way (fortunately I have developed better coping skills smile. Nor I am out to prove anything for that matter. Admittedly, I lack the broad span of knowledge clearly demonstrated in this illustrious forum...therefore, I cherish and hold in high regard any clues (even yours) and suggestions so kindly offered here and I am enjoying immensely participating in that seemingly endless process - and expanding on some of those notions...isn't that "the fun" when studying old guns? That lingering and sweet , however unsettling, sensation of questions unresolved smile
