Ivory grips on AE 1900

Ron --

Dragon was a traditional royal symbol in the East. Both Chinese and Japanese used Dragon symbols but with a difference -- the claw of Chinese Dragon has five fingers, and Japanese Dragon has three fingers.

Below is a Chinese Silver Coin of "34th YEAR OF KUANG HSU" (1908) which
shows a Chinese Dragon.... and a "wall" in a former royal park.... his mouth
is always open.
