Adam,

I've seen that same picture on Hamada's web site - under the link for the Company's History. The writing is all in Japanese, so I can't read it, but I hope to speak more with Kawaguchi on the company and find out what guns it made, when, etc. Do you know of any other companies to look for (besides Miroku, Nikko, SKB, KFC, Fuji)?

Your earlier posts - with the Hamada and copies of Westley Richards has really sparked my interest. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Patrick
