Eric,

Sorry, I may have said that a bit awkwardly. I am really interested in finding if there are other early examples of the King Latch system with NO Patent Date inscription. Parker # 3561 has an engraved latch with no inscription. I recall years ago Ron Kirby mentiomed that some were stamped on the latch lever, but to date I have only seen the stamp on the body as in this example. In some cases the inscription is in two lines rather than one. I would like to know if there are other early lifter hammer guns with he redesigned latch that lact the Patent Date inscription.

Richard
