This IMO has been one of the finest "Group Efforts" in helping a fellow collector out. Perhaps we should forward this information to AYA and they could put out an identification bulletin. As I state earlier my own AYA was mis-identified when I located it and I had to come up with evidence to convince the owner that it wasn't in fact a Model 2.
I'm still tring to figure out what the actual differences are between a Model 2 and a Model 117 other than engraving and plainer wood? The are both true SLEs and the quality seem to be the same.
