In the early 1950's Model #11, "Alaskan Skinners", were supplied "both" ways also. The first drawings, submitted to the shop by Tommy Thompson showed what appeared to be a rounded hilt. The earliest photos in Bob G's book shows round, but squared hilts most certainly were shortly behind. They were indeed shown in most old catalog photos as well. Hope this helps... Best, Capt. Chris
