Also, I see 1gunner's model 4 back a few posts, very nice indeed, it appears to have a brass pin with the nickel hilt, I had just received the nickel hilt #4 in the photo with a nickel pin, I guess whatever the shop had on hand at the time is what they used...



Rob,

I haven't seen a nickel silver pin used with a nickel silver hilt either before ~1949 or after ~1951. There seems to be a very small window of time this "hardware" was matched up.
