Most of the cross bolts seem to be grade marked under the pistol grip cap, and this is a straight grip gun; no identification as to grade is on it.

There are some really beautiful examples of the engraver/carver's chisel work in those photographs. My Pape looks rather crude when compared to some but I like the simplistic approach. Oak leaves seem to be the favourite subject for the carving on fences, does this indicate a Germanic influence? Thanks once again Bob
