I think that's a very nice looking example. Yes, It's got a bit of ugly in spots, but it's a good clean example and they aren't making them any more. It's gotten bad enough that I've had jobs repairing those that have no grip scales and then people have one...nice walnut grip scales.

Do you concur that it's a "prototype," from very early Tokyo production?
