Re: Re: Old Presto
The hawkbill Presto has never been identified in any publications as an issue item, either to my knowledge-but I have seen them in the wrapper, with the lanyard. I think the government took what they could get. The question is-was the metal handled Presto made before or during WW2, or was it later?
