I bought this gun!
I almost hate to post this after losing many absentee bids, but I bought this gun at the recent RIAC sale. The book has it listed with a capped pistol grip. The straight grip has the long tang and the correct serial number engraved on it along with some other no. 2 quality engraving. I suspect it's not original and will seek a letter on it. I bought another 16 no. 2 quality from RIAC two years ago. When I got my newest treasure home I was stunned to find they are consecutively numbered!!
