Yup, it's 135. not 735. Ah, the joys of getting older. More insight, less eyesight :-(

BTW, the takedown tool -- which I doubt is original to this byf -- is proofed 655. I asked Ralph Shattuck about swapping to a 135-proof tool, and he allowed as how some of the early 135-proofed byfs came with 655 tools!

Anyone have a more precise production date for my byf 41, #960a?
