An incredibly interesting gun! Thanks, Bill, for bringing it back to our attention.
I also note that the research letter refers to the grip as a "ball grip." In light of the discussion on another thread regarding grip nomenclature, maybe the thinking should be reconsidered. Obviously, some hammer-less guns have ball grips.
