OK. I have to admit, Joe can't answer that question, because there is no established actual provenance.

Maybe he can answer this easier one.

Therein lies a portion of your problem.

In the end, what I see is yet another thread ruined by non other than yourself.


Joe, if its not inclusive of baby dots, which is the known sheaths for comparison, how would you possibly be able to discern the differences in bb sheaths that you think were made by Johnson, from HKL? Especially when HKL's were different from earlier Heisers too.

It would be hard enough to discern the HKL from the earlier Heisers, had they not had the Heiser stamp just before the transition to RMK stamp. When HKL took over, a lot changed with those sheaths.

So without baby dots, how do you establish your reference line?

What are you comparing those bb sheaths to, to establish Johnson made? Just because they are different? So what? Early HKL's were different too.
