If you can't discern the maker's mark inside tle plate and you are a collector maniac, you must burn your eyelashes spending some time figuring out what it says

I want it to say something and I think I have a name but I don't want to contaminate someone else with what it is in my mind, Have you any name you could make a guess at??

My wife agrees with the name I have come up with but iI think that was more for me to go away and stop annoying her rather than exact agreement!! you know what I mean.

As for size I agree it seems out of proportion but it is a very comfortable size. Maybe a cut down from a long time ago but it was a very long time going by the platina. Also the front of the stock profile matches that this was the original length.

Thanks for your comments
