Additional Notes:
On early models the handle was made from rosewood (cocobolo). Later models came with a tropical hardwood handle.
The #65 suffered from such poor sales that the company were left with a lot of unfinished castings. On some later examples the castings were not drilled to accommodate the wooden soles as was originally intended, therefore resulting in some examples not being fitted with a wooden sole.
