PNSSHOGUN Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 Patented Ishikuze or extended drag are the correct terms, never encountered "tabs" before. 1 Quote
IJASWORDS Posted August 25, 2020 Report Posted August 25, 2020 Bruce, if you enlarge the bottom right hand corners of the extended drag, you will see a makers logo..... a "W" in a triangle. Here is a WW2 advertisement for the company. 1 1 Quote

Expand Well, if it had been a snake it would have bitten us! I just checked Fuller's picture of it, and it is right there for all to see, as well. I've updated the Stamps doc to reflect this (5.4). Nice work Neil! Quote
