Re: Frank B. 11" Flat Button Swinguard
These began to be produced in late 2004.
Some history: The first run was for a private individual who wanted to sell these on line in sets of three consisting of light horn, dark horn and stag. It didn't go well. Language problems and misunderstanding resulted in identifying marks (such as 2004-S27, 2004-S78) that were unintelligible as far as linking sets was concerned. That and other problems drove that customer to stop payment to Frank B resulting in a huge imbroglio on this and other sites. Frank recovered and built these for a number of years. He may still make them as the only real difference between these and other 11" SG's is the flat button.
