I could believe that these were official RAD approved trial or prototype early Officer pieces somewhat like the full grip Eickhorns --rejected perhaps because of the weight and other factors-BUT--the TM--as far as I have seen --only appears on these and 60's fakes. IF this TM in fact did appear on early authentic pieces--Let's see one! IMO -that would end this debate that has been going on since the 60's--perhaps before.
