I won this one earlier in the week. Just waiting for it to show up on the doorstep.

Pretty sure that it is a strap 319. Shawkey's book indicates it should have a cal 581. But that is clearly a 704. Interestingly, there is no caliber number stamped into the case back. My other 704 in guildite; a "Master" per Barney's ID work http://vintagegruen.org/vgforum/index.php?t=msg&th=1257& amp; amp; amp;goto=8041&#msg_8041, also has no caliber number, just the crystal style number

Hoping someone has this one nailed down for a name.

I'll post more images when it arrives this week.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
