However, looking at Hiller's book again he says a further means of distinguishing between the older and newer models is that on the early models, ".....the barrel protrudes about half an inch (about 1/8" actually) whereas on the later model the barrel was encased in a square projection and did not protrude.......".
    On mine the reverse is true - the later, numbered, model has a slightly protruding barrel and on the earlier model the muzzle is recessed, so did Dennis get it wrong?

    You are right that when the cocking levers are in the closed state, the barrel of the later model protrudes, whereas the muzzle of the earlier model is concealed in a recess and so protrudes not at all. However, I am sure that Dennis was describing the situation when the cocking levers are extended (although he does not exactly make this clear). In this state, the later model has a modified hinge block which encases the barrel, and the muzzle protrudes only a small amount. In contrast the muzzle on the earlier model is exposed by about 3/8 inches. .

    No Number?

    Hi John,
    You have the number of the later model, but I can not find any number on the later one to add to the list.

    Hi Pete,

    Did you mean to say "...cannot find any number on the earlier one", ( i.e. the one with the half-moon trigger guard)? If so, then no problem, as none of them were serial numbered .

    Cheers,
    John

    Thank you for confirming that.
