I guess I don't see the checkering alignment problem you do. I believe it's an early work because it doesn't have the usual checkering over the top of the wrist.
I'm waiting for Mr. Petrov to weigh in with any history he may have on this G&H No. 213.
I'm not familiar with that front swivel item, and not sure about the popularity of a leather covered pad on G&H's of that era.
Would love to know if this entire ensemble was original.....in 400 Whelen.
I guess if I got curious enough I could go see Mike Schwandt. He only lives about 35 miles from me, and we've done business (mostly in his favor <grin>) over the last 20-25 years.
