Crap .... now this means that i have to search and buy a post 1930 American too, in the name of the science ...Ah, no ... that's a pre-1930 American. Okay then, we'll chalk that up to manufacturing variance.
The post-1930 American caps are quite noticeably longer (like just over half a mm). Yours appear closer in difference with the bevelled part about the same - the angle of that final bevel is abit different on the post-1930s.
Lovely pair, mind.
Yep! Filthy habitI quit my DEs ...
A patent spotter would be convinced they are all from 1912... throughout which, the British models remained as per the 1921. I'm hazy on this, so perhaps a patent spotter like @riverrun might know, but British production strikes me as probably a late 1920s perhaps into the 1930s kinda thing. Certainly what we tend to think of as 1930s British were actually more likely 1940s. I don't have anything concrete as to production dates in Britain.
Damn! They were very busy that year!A patent spotter would be convinced they are all from 1912

So, your British example? What kinda handle does it have?
