My 1918 DHE 20 has an "extra full" comb (as stated in the letter). It does not look like my 1924 gun which resembles what Randy/Dean posted. It could be that the option evolved over time, or that there is a difference between the two -- extra full v. trap. Unfortunately, my 1924 gun has no surviving records, so I don't know what the comb style was called.
