I have studied the Model 5's just a little, but one thing I am not sure on is if the thumb notches are standard or an option??? when I read the description on the catalog I don't see the notches as a standard option.

just curious

They are standard. I tried a few years ago to order a 5 through a dealer, without thumb notches. No luck.

Now to contradict myself, I have at least two 5's without thumb notches. Perry told me that this happened once in a while to older 5's. I don't know if they were ordered that way or it just happened.

Gary, That is a very nice match indeed. But right now I have my eyes on some different examples.
