just thought of another question. I have just bought a really nice early HW45 on here and its got a small metal inlay on each side of the handle with HWM on it. I say I have seen these on other HW45's so I was wondering did they fit these just to early models?
I don't know if they were only on the early models but I know they were on the early models, mine has them and was one of the first imported, I had to wait 2 weeks for them to come into the UK
