Got the beater on RIAC
Conehammer (CH) with thin receiver is relatively rare. A few hundred of those were made before the Turkisk contract. Most CH in the U.S. had provenance of British empire, but those British ones were after Turkish. Probably that's why early ones do not show up for sale here in the U.S. very often. Including this one, I have seen two for sale publicly in a few years. The other one was 98%, but that one was refurbished. This one fills one hole in the collection.
