I can't find the one with the brass buckle in the 1887 or 1889 Parker catalog, but I think the metal clips are a Parker patent. The one in the 1887 and 1889 catalogs has leather shell receptacles and two light duty leather straps and buckles in place of the brass buckle pictured in the auction catalog. We might find the one with the big brass plate in the Johnson book but I can't find it in The Parker Story.
