Thanks Mike. I figured Navies (~1904) were probably an exception, 'cause they have checkered toggle lugs. Yours is a first issue, right? Altered or not? Rich's first pic isn't a Navy though. His later description of how it's called "transition" sort of clears it up. A good reminder that design changes didn't necessarily occur simultaneously, or even consistently...

Nice set of photos, Rich!
