Ian and Will, thank you guys for detailing criteria on your observations!
This thoughtful effort is how we learn about the weapons we discuss and the character of the elements, decoration and processes that are essential in the forensics process that help us understand them.
Just making some declaration or laconic blurb toward a weapon in discussion, as too often apparent in todays devolving communication is less than helpful, so actual imparting of knowledge and experience is pure treasure.
Just sayin
