Guys,
I have a question. That BSS I mentioned earlier has side plates. I understand that the Browning Side locks (and box locks) were made in Japan, except for the high grade side locks that were made in Belgium.
Were would a side plated and heavily engraved BSS box lock have been made?
RCC, all the BSS I'm aware of were made by Miroku in Japan. I've never heard of a side plated BSS, unless maybe you were looking at a BSS Sidelock. They had a fair amount of engraving. Mostly scroll, although a few were game scene engraved.
