Well WB,

I'm not S-K, but it looks like a genuine United States Quarter, minted in the Denver Mint... ::nod:: ::tu::













OK...OK...just having fun with the pitch up in the zone, my friend. :lol: :lol:

Sorry wb, I don't recognise that mark. The shape of the handle seems similar to a photo of a Sheffield one that I have seen but the locking mechanism does not look typical of Sheffield. That is not much to go on I know. Will see if I can find something for you. :) s-k

That's different than any I've seen. The lever lock on the back is unusual. Overall, I'd say it looks more English than German, but I'm not sure I can say why it gives me that impression. I've attached a pic of a German example.

This might be a good one to post in one of Bernard Levine's forums to see what he says.
