Hi John,
Thank you for your information. The transitional models, I have examined so far, are in the range 418x â?? 459x dated â??72 and â??73. In this range it is possible to find all configurations mixed. In addition for a while both pistols have been produced in parallel therefore there is not a clear â??border lineâ? between the models.
The pistol you shown could be one of the pistols Allan mentions in his book; really interesting.
Cheers,
Mauro
