With the comparisons being made to F. Williams, I included the one I own in the pictures with the Loomis.

The Loomis is clearly of higher quality, while the Williams has the edge in condition.

When I had Paul Hodgins examine the Williams many years ago, he pointed out several items that indicated that while it carries English proofs, it was very likely made in Belgium and imported into England. Ex: No provisional proofs, only final.





















Forgot pics of the proof marks. Will get those taken.
