Nah, not too much over celebration on Memorial Day as there were just too many tasks at hand but might be more inclined for tomorrow's celebration of Jefferson Davis' birthday. We will sort of the chaffe/chaff sooner or later.

I do wonder if there are any Belgian/French sporting weapons with the toplever stop that are not associated with a V-C design? Antoine Cordy of Liege may have but was it because he absorbed V-C in 1929 and continued till? Or vice-versa?
