You've probably seen mine, a few owners down the road.

Yeah that is one of them. You haven't noticed a GILL mark anywhere on it have you? It may be marked GILL on the tang like the early Osborn examples.

I've never taken it apart. I had seen it decades ago. I grabbed it from ebay and the seller got it from a previous auction. bought it for the form, over the marking.
