I have only seen pictures of the Aberman pistol, but have seen the Norton pistol at the Norton Gallery. From the pictures in the article in G&A on the Aberman pistol, the Norton pistol is in better condition. It is all speculation, but the Norton pistol could very well have been the prototype or backup to the two sent to the US, but was retained by DWM. The Norton pistol has a C/N proof which would seem to indicate that it was sold at a later date by DWM.
