Model 851

[Mainspring]

These are mine and in my possession. Pics #1 and #2 show a model 851, I included pic #3 because it is more common and is probably recognizable, it is here for comparison to the first two pics.

Circa 1949, what are your thoughts? The 851 designation was kept at the 1961 Redraw. The original model designation of the 11-48?
