I appreciate all of the interesting discussion. I guess for those of us who are late into the game we aren't going to get all the years experience examining nice original guns to acquire the skill needed to ID some things. But it is still fun learning and discussing. I have been able to obtain 3 nice original guns so I have something to examine and fondle.

Yes you will, but it doesn't come overnight. And many of the old-timers who can recognize these nuances have paid their dues in mistakes made during the learning curve.
