The Williams, Fred'k, i have has IXL no. 9 on both side-plates and the top rib before the dolls head extension, but other than that the engraving is almost identical. Locking bolt looks identical as well. I'll try to post pics for comparison. I spoke with Jack Rowe before I purchased it to ascertain his feedback and he told me he knew Fred. Williams and Company well as that was his first place of employment upon entering the gun trade in Birmingham.

Do you think the no. 9, 20, and 45 were model numbers? I shoot mine on a regular basis for SC. Fits me well and breaks clays with low pressure 3/4 loads.
