Looking for a #18 knurled buttcap (mid 80s to mid 90s vintage) with no compass. Also, is the knurling on this vintage the same size as current production? In photos, it appears that the current buttcaps have slightly larger knurling. Is that correct?

Thanks! smile

Hmmm, this is interesting. Is the buttcap knurling larger on the 7.5" model than it is on the 5.5" model? According to Jim's photo, it appears to be. Is this always the case or does the shop occasionally change the knurling size for some reason? Or do they all just vary?

Let's try this another way. Does anyone know if a current buttcap will screw onto a mid to late 80s Model 18?

Thanks!

Tom,

I have one with the smaller knurling, no compass. Some tarnish, etc... can be cleaned up. Email if you want: mwelze4@comcast.net
