Great, information thanks so much to everyone for their input. Will take a look at that key and see if it will cooperate. I'm very hesitant as I obviously don't want to to anything stupid and cause irreparable harm. Will let you know what I am able to sort.

Didn't have a popsicle stick, but a small wooded spoon did nicely and was easier than I anticipated.

Some more pics. Looks like "M" 314 as referenced on that other thread for the weight and maker I'm guessing. Barrell shows it's Plain Twist, and the Grade location has "U" showing.

Thanks Chris.
Not just the 'M' but also the Parker P in a diamond



I suspect the barrels were blued at some point, obscuring the original pattern which I don't believe to be Plain Twist.

It could be Chris, but the ribband edge welds are not usually as prominent in Plain Twist
