I came across a picture of the HW35LS on another forum & noticed it sported the newer type barrel & later sights.

It turns out the chap ordered a Thumbhole HW35 with carbine barrel, what he got was a HW35 carbine with the seventies / eighties Thumbhole stock.This was in 1998.So HW must have had a stock stashed away.

It has HW35K stamped on the breach with the later "C" for cal & does not appear to have the safety warning on the trigger block.
