Thanks! I can't say I see a whole bunch of Frank B stamped Flatguard/Flat Button Picklocks around, but maybe they're more common than I thought(?).
No D-Stamped liners.
They’re not too common.
I haven’t seen any flat button stilettos come from Frank B‘s workshop in over 10 years.
Does anyone else have any info on the flat buttons?
You might check with Walter Halucha.

I had wrote to Walt within the last 4-6 months inquiring about flatguards, picklocks & vintage Latamas that he may point me to and his reply was that he was always looking too. I never did ask about Frank B stamped pieces specifically though. Now, I've never attended a good knife show, but when Walt Halucha is present at one with his sales display, does he offer his current pieces for sale only, or vintage stuff? His vintage area on his site never seem to offer vintage Latamas or many vintage stiletto/switchblades at all.

Walt's main business is his new production knives and products.
He does try to have some vintage knives at the shows.
